Under the Wire

A late post for a weary Wednesday, a stifling day of failing commercial HVAC units, of lukewarm Snapple, of a keyboard which felt like it was melting in the sun, of bad news from Australia and, on page 307 of the Oxford World's Classics edition of Wilke Collins's The Woman in White, extremely bad news for Marian Halcombe, Laura Fairlie, and Walter Hartright. Curse you, Count Fosco! Damnable villain!
