    I no longer remember the faces of the dead women. There is only Kelly’s face, and that becomes more like Lucy with each passing night. I have bought Kelly clothes similar to those Lucy wore. The nightgown she wears before we couple is very like the shroud in which Lucy was buried. Kelly styles her hair like Lucy’s now. Soon, I hesitate to hope, Kelly will be Lucy.

       Finally picked up a copy of of The Bloody Red Baron by Kim Newman yesterday (the second book in the Anno Dracula series). I’ve made about a quarter of the way through and I like it almost as much as I did Anno Dracula (I loved Anno Dracula, sooo). The only downside, which really isn’t a downside at all, is the fact that Charles Beauregard doesn’t have a prominent role, but I guess that’s to be expected since he’s a big(ger) shot in Diogenes Club. 

      Anyway, I definitely recommend this book and Anno    Dracula to anyone who enjoys a read.

    Her voice was cool in the dark.
    “This can be for ever, Charles. Truly forever.”
    He remembered his meeting with Mycroft.
    “Nothing is for ever, my darling…”

    …the kiss broke and he stood back, leaving her baffled. Then the doors were opened and they were admitted into the Royal Presences.
