three stories through Alabaster. a couple left, and then the afterword. i've been reading the stories in the sequence of publication--the sequence as presented in this collection--rather than by the alternate table of contents Ms Kiernan provides, which lets you know 'which happened first'. although following the fictional chronology is Kiernan's preferred reading order, i rather like the suggestion of this strange little girl being disinherited from time...and i like the idea that i might be discovering things about Dancy the way Ms Kiernan did.
though i always itch to get out of the office, i haven't done so out of the desire to read a particular book in a while. this, of course, is a good thing.
right. i'm off to drop some text i originally wrote for this blog onto the other life, where it just seems more appropriate, and then it's back between the sheets...and into the pages with that strange little girl.
