Chapter 3: Page 15: Line 31 (122)

 "Oh, damme, I say, I didn't mean,—"

Line 122 Vulgarized:
Mason, realizing his faux pas, apologizes with a swear.

Subtext:
Mason's probably not autistic. He's just overly enthusiastic about public executions and got caught up in the moment without realizing he was being a dick. It's how people learn to get along with people they've never really been around before. It's called growing and learning and having an open mind. He, like Dixon, knows they're going to be around each other a lot, probably in a lot of close quarter environments, and doesn't want to ruin their relationship before it's even gotten going. They both come across as good blokes, so far.
