How to read it? It's an odd and difficult novel, hard to
read as we do here, chapter after chapter, it's almost
maddening, but it has worked well enough on all the books
so...but it does help if the host can get a little help
around the kitchen. I think, in the East the folks might
even show up early, rather than our Oxy-dented up American
fashionably late again....but anyway, don't have the book V.
at the moment, but the 
bar tender/new man of the theatre  tells her (Barman--hurry
up please it's time, remember how the sick crew goes gah gah
fro the jolly old British hurry up while they suck the hours
away and take up collections for abortions) that they will
have to weeks. This is on July 24, Thursday. 7 makes July 31
and seven more August 7, but we lost a day because the Time.
