Gulliver spent most of the month with the Queen who seemed infatuated with him now that he was of their size, although a lot taller, she was able to converse with him better without the deep longing to step on him like an insect when she got annoyed with what he said. Soon news spread throughout Brobdingnag of the two foreign giants and people flocked to see them in their droves, many asking what their giant land was like and how it differed from theirs although Gulliver and Tom could only explain of their previous adventures.
As the adult and young citizens flocked toward Gulliver to hear his marvellous tales of lands of tiny people, Tom spent most of his time gathering an almost religious following of young impressionable women, and indeed some gay men who kept their sexuality a secret although coming across a towering adonis tore their worlds apart. On one hand they would have jumped at the chance to see him in all his naked glory, worshipping every inch of his amazing body, while on the other hand the kingdom's tolerance for non-heterosexual relationships was still in its infancy with many gay men facing social persecution for it.
