According to Weisenburger, the date of this episode is still December 18th,

The hour they are probably grudging is the hour they are about to
spend at the seance or elsewhere in the building*

I had the BDST notion because he makes such a point of “6:43:16” - but
that’s the fateful time of the first rocket-induced hardon - so for a
pointer to the date and time of the seance, it’s certainly not right.

Thanks!

Haven’t yet read the 2nd edition Weissenburger…


* Not even sure where they are for this seance - some pub? ACHTUNG?
White Visitation?

Oh, they’re at Snoxall’s, a pub. Hence the dartboard. I knew this at one point.
