Oh wow-- this is great-- and not at all too late to help out. I used Wikipedia's info on London's neighborhoods, and got at least a sense of where things might reasonably be for the very vague purposes of the story. And I used antennapedia's Gower Street because I thought of a way I could use the name as a clue in the story. Might as well put my lit degree to some use. I'm pleased to have some of my notes and ideas confirmed by a native, though, even if none of it ever makes it into the story proper.

Terraced house, though is exactly what I needed to know. What a cool new years present! And the comment on weather, and on papers below-- very funny, and also helpful.

I'll try to put it all to good use, with apologies in advance for my regrettable ignorance. And I'm honored you took the time to go back through my journal that far, and to make such helpful comments.

i remain, Sir,

A very grateful
