Tom

[Mils]

I wonder who Tom is..................

i was thinking, when she wrote to Dr. Polstead, she adresses him as one would do to an elder, but to this "tom" obviously, differently. And she signs "L" instead of "lyra"
is it some code between them?

sry, just some random thought

[boybehindmakeup]

I was thinking it was a love interest at first...because of the L instead of Lyra...but after much thought...maybe Tom is just someone she has confided in...who knows maybe Lyra just likes older guys!

[Mils]

Ya, but she has grown up with all of the scholars in Jordan, and, with her being an adult at the time of the letter, would probably refer to them by their first names, because she is most likely to be a scholar soon herself.
So maybe Tom is an "outside" source, and one the PP would want to include in order to introduce in the BOD

[Cheater]

Its informal so its obviously a friend.
I need to reread the letter again. Forget what its about.

[Mils]

a guy friend
hmmmmmmmmmmm............

[Pilgrim]

Of course, if she's grown up and uses first names it could be one of the scholars we already met. Anyone remember if the Master of Jorden was ever actually named?

[Mils]

I don't think so, but he'd probably already have passed away by then, because he was already rather old in TGC, and this is some 10 odd years later.
Unless he's a trooper

Im just getting a feeling that "Tom" is a character that PP is going to embelish on in TBoD, because he could have written any other's name, such as a scholar (Dr. Polstead, for instance) but instead it's a "Tom" that we have never heard of before. And I also thought it was interesting how she signed her letter "L".

[dannyyyy]

yeah i just think they'll talk about him in BoD

[Sayuri]

Maybe it's someone she is related to? It's possible, she doesn't know any of her parents background, so I suppose he could be an Uncle or Cousin or something. Lord Asriel never actually said that he didn't have a brother, after Lyra found out about him being her father I mean.

[dannyyyy]

hmm thats my favourite theory Sayuri. ..lord asriels brother...hmm hopefully called danny(my name!)

Oh lol. That's my character (or rather my inner child) Sayuri, doing a dance called the Caramell Dansen- If you haven't heard of it look it up or youtube

Hahaha I bet she has an eccentric Great Aunt who has a name like Lucinda or something and lives with lots of cats

[dannyyyy]

[Sayuri]

Lol, she deserves to have a fun relative who doesn't try to kill her friends or hold her captive

[dannyyyy]

yeah i guess so, but i wonder what this crazy family will make her grow up to be?

[Sayuri]

Who knows? Maybe Lyra will be the crazy lady with the cats and not her aunt Lucinda, ......you know because of Will Lol

[dannyyyy]

lol she'll call the cats will, will 2, will 3, will 4 and Iorek

[Sayuri]
