in the last paragraph Wolfe comes across as an old school conservative, so old school that he harks back to a time before the word conservative even existed. He probably carries around a copy of the Magna Carta, on parchment.

ETA: Some my favorite fantasy and science writers are fairly conservative in real life, maybe that's what makes them so good at creating fantasy worlds...
