The end is in sight, and there seems to be a resolution forming in the L'il Em'ly saga. Two whole chapters were devoted to that, and then in the last chapter (helpfully titled "Domestic") we gain some insight into David's home life. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of happy news there. David seems increasingly frustrated with his marriage, and then we also learn that Dora seems to be in bad health.As I've made clear, I've never been a big fan of Dora, but I don't wish disease on her. I fear that we may end up losing Dora, and that David will end up marrying Agnes. I want to Dora to be out of the picture, but I don't want to be rooting for her demise. Perhaps a nice little divorce would be the solution, but of course we are in Victorian times, so consumption it'll probably have to be.
On the positive side of the ledger, it looks like next month's installment will start with a little excitement. Chapter 49 is titled "I am Involved in Mystery," and I can't wait. By the way, "I am Involved in Mystery" is something I definitely plan on stealing for an e-mail subject line, preferably one that is work-related.
