When we came to the difficult point in Lancelot's and Guenevere's relationship when the queen, jealous of Lady Elaine, gives her lover a dressing-down and tells him to get lost, at which point he throws himself out the window, J bust into tears and told me to stop the audiobook. After a few minutes he got a grip and asked me to continue. 

This evening I showed him one of my prized possessions, a reprint of the 1893 edition of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur with illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley. He was not yet suitably impressed, but that will come with time.
