Doctor Hoffman has been a part of my life for so long, I am at a loss for what I should do without her, experiment or not. Finding her obsesses me.
Mrs. Stoddard burst into Collins Hall raving about coffins and needing to be hidden. My reflex was to offer immediate shelter. That was before understanding that she’s quite mad. What a life when I accept such a thing as a standard salutation.
In my quest this evening, I encountered Tom Jennings at last… and as eager as I was to destroy him, I also implored him to mind the coming light. How startling to find myself in the grip of the beast from an entirely new vantage. As the cock crowed in our melee, I felt finger across my throat, then panic, then helplessness. Then nothing.
More anon.
