Go for it.

I arrive at King's Cross at 4:46pm so I'll walk down and should get to Smith's for just after 5. I'll be wearing a suit.

So the story's quite good, probably the best yet, although other than the live writing, the end result is quite typical storyness..

Anyone spotted any cloos yet? I've got nada

Snippets of info:

In the original story Therese Raquin, some of the protagonists were coworkers in railway offices (the Orleans Railroad Company). This might to some extent explain the background picture.

Stephanie - feminine equivalent to Stephen - etymology = "crown" - if we are searching for tarot card / Wonderland identities - Stephanie = Queen? As I noted in the chat room, Tweedledum and Tweedledee are perhaps somewhat aptly portrayed as the Lovers...

Wikipedia has a concise summary of the original story - it's quite different to the way the characters are ranged in Your Place Or Mine, though the themes seem very similar if you look at the temperament of the characters. Don't read the synopsis if you don't want to spoil the ending of the original story or potentially the denouement of the new story.

I was trying to work out whether D and Dr... and the Doctor might all be the same person, when I came across another one of those internet coincidences: Dr Mowse and Mr Hare.

Also, I wondered whether Mr Marsh-Ayre's mention of Samedi might be an allusion to Baron Samedi?

Good luck tonight all who are going - I'm as geographically challenged as veebee unfortunately!

By the way, it's not "Smiths of Smithville", but "Smiths of Smith*field*", as it is adjacent to the famous meat market of that name.

Tempted, certainly ...

I do feel that we are missing something from the week 4 story - perhaps some hidden text or regular letters that spell something.

The first day is in eight segments of five minutes, from 6.40 to 7.15, the second is in ten from 6.30 to 7.15 and the third is in eleven from 6.30 to 7.20.

The Doormouse in Alice told a story about the girls in the Treacle Well who drew pictures of things beginning with an M.

Not sure if this may lead to something. Checked back through this weeks stories only thing that stood out was that Laurence took Terry to the 'Mayflower' on day 2.

As far as I know there isn't any 'Mayflower' pubs around Camden (where the background picture was taken) but there is one in Rotherhithe and a collection of Mayflower Hotels around London.

Could be nothing but just getting it out there.
