Darling, you are wonderful, and I think you should get a medal for the hacking. You might also get metaquoted.

Anyway, I'm deploying this icon with a purpose. I went to the Women's Interfaith Meeting tonight, and we need Catholics. We haven't got any. We've got heaps of Methodists (we meet in the cafe of a very pretty Methodist church), and the odd Protestant of another denomination such as Church of Scotland, and a few Muslims, and a couple of Brahma Kumaris who usually wear white, and me plus another Jew, and a Baha'i or two, and usually a Quaker, but no Catholics. I sort of volunteered your services in your absence. Well, you seem to come over to use the Nat on Wednesdays, which is when we meet, and it's only once a month, and it doesn't run that late, and I could feed you supper and we could terrify the science postgrads by talking shop?

We should sort out dracula1897, the novel starts on, what, 3 May? As well as the icons, though as long as we have Jonathan we're OK for a stretch, we need to work out which letters were written on which days. I'm actually planning a fic based on it (which I want to pick your brains about, you genuine Victorianist, you), so I've been flicking through noting dates for what I want to do, and it's pretty random, far more muddled up than, say, Clarissa or Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Do you want me to make a start on noting down the letter/journal dates? I made a plot summary and a narration chart when I was studying it the other year, which will help. I think it'll be easiest for me to flick through a paper copy. I'm using the 1993 Penguin, which I have just discovered, to my distaste, is dedicated, "To a princess, with my undying love." Don't tell me the Stoker-Irving relationship was that fucked-up? Anyway, do you have that copy, or should I be a good girl and copy down phrases from the start of each document so that you can find it in an e-text?
