Weekend

Reading log now.  Darkroom all night (the pressure's up because of what happened on Tuesday).  Reading log tomorrow.  Grading, Step paper, obituary draft, reading and response to the reading for the translation class.  Das nennt man heutzutage Weekend.

At least there's no new homework for the grammar class this weekend.

3:56 p.m.  Language reset song:  Brenda Lee singing "Dankeschoen."

3:57 p.m.  "11.  The Man on the Tor" is 13 pages long.

3:57 p.m.  He repeats "The incidents ... are indelibly graven upon my recollection."  Last chapter's opening had:  "... are indelibly fixed in every detail upon my memory."

4:08 p.m.  What, exactly, should a "wagonette" be?

4:14 p.m.  Beautiful foreshadowing of discovering Holmes on the Tor:  "One great grey bird, a gull or curlew, soared aloft in the blue heaven."

4:19 p.m.  He again makes an effort to ensure that I (as the reader) doesn't commit myself:  "Was he our malignant enemy, or was he our guardian angel?"

4:21 p.m.  "... the west was blazing with scarlet and gold."  Reminds me of "The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold/And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold."

4:23 p.m.  Done!  More tomorrow.
