The Omnibus Octavo have taken a great interest in the affairs of this Taupe-Wainscot gentleman. Be prepared to receive a letter from my assistant soon enough…
Thank you all very much! I was staggered to realise how long it’s been since the last update - new job plus taking a holiday has made the time pass too quickly! I’ve got a fairly good idea of where to take the Doctor next - now to work people’s lovely contributions into it…
I must say that my biggest regret this Hallowmas was not asking the good doctor for a confession. I can just imagine his guilty admission of the time he had a large glass of sherry before dinner (impropriety) or when he read the last page of a novel when only halfway through (curiosity) or the time he said “fiddlesticks!” when his bridge contract failed (violence). I’m sure his confessors would go away confused and wondering if he was performing an act of guile on them at that very time.
