So would I! Over the course of the novel Sam becomes a worse person (cheats, endangers others, etc.), and by the end he's pulled back from the brink and gained a level of maturity. At that point he's not as insular as he used to be. He was once happy to while away his life in a town in the middle of nowhere, but now he's open to more of life's adventures. Whatever he's going to achieve in life, he's going to have to work for it. I do wonder what happens to him next. I have it in the back of my head that he and Mrs Cholmondeley team up again about 10 years later in another story. But I doubt I'll ever write it. The world has enough sequels.
