Roger the cabin boy?
Seaman Staines?
Got an eye for the wronguns eh
It’s weird, cos both King and Glitter just seemed dodgy, when I was a kid. King especially so, and that was years before it was discovered he was a nonce. Just something in his manner, that I instinctively felt wasn’t ‘right’. Uuuggh. Really creepy and slimy.
As for Glitter, well, he just seemed wrong. Kids can pick up on things; it’s like they’re more naturally attuned to danger somehow, and we lose that ability as we get older, and replace it with intuition based on experience rather than instinct. Maybe. something like that.
