What a dreary world it is for some.

Especially in Victorian times. I mean, that's what's scared me away from such period authors as Dickens for so long: too depressing. But I just started Jane Eyre, and though it is rather glum to begin with, I'm quite enjoying it. I asked mum what she thought of it and she said: "Oh, it's excellent. I love the Bronties." Seriously, that's how she pronounced it. Said I: "I suppose you should take up saying the "R" in "foyer" now, shouldn't you?" and she just gave me a sort of dryly amused look.
Personally, I quite like to pronounce the "r" in "foyer," it makes me feel American. I wonder if that's a good thing...

In other theaters of war, the play's going pretty well, I wrote a rather lengthy introductory scene at Lara's behest, in which most of the main characters walk back to Camelot after what was unknowingly the last tournament with the entire Round Table present. It's ok I suppose. I had to make Launcelot into a bit of a jerk, but that adds more depth to him, so I'm not complaining.
