honestly, humphrey is so underrated. hes forgotten by the other ghosts, and is "just happy to be included". in his life he gave everything up just so his wife, who didnt even like him that much, could escape. he took the blame for it then died. with sophie he tried to get her to like him but he couldnt. he listened to fanny complain about the lesbian wedding then offered a new perspective on it. he is so lovable and kind and is just forgotten about. he (his head) is left lying about by the other ghosts a lot of the time as well. he is so precious he has my heart.
My marriage was arranged. I was 14, she was 12. Noble families, both. Model couple, really, for the time. We had a title and a big house and the lands, riches. Didn't love each other. She didn't even like me. Didn't laugh at my jokes. Didn't really understand each other. She was French, so... Might have been nice if we could have chosen who we married.
