          "text": "Right, I was talking about the one in PEACE INDEXICON.\n\nI think we arrived at \"1953\" because\n\n1) we had Olivia's death pegged at 1928 (kind of shocking in itself), which\nhappened 25 years ago\n\n2) Gold left Germany in 1928, met his future wife in London 25 years ago\n(1928+25 = 1953)\n\n3) we wanted AD Weer to be around 40, for both the \"poor at 40, rich at 50\"\npart as well as the Old Phillips farm \"30 years ago\" (30+9 years old = 39\nyears old).\n\n4) the \"bobbysoxer\" tangle meant that, unless we wanted Lois to be putting\nAD Weer down as an old fogy, we wanted them to meet sooner in the 50s\nrather than later.\n\n5) the visit with Dr. V, where AD Weer maybe appears to be 45, is when\nCrazy Pete is on his island . . . which is from 1964 onwards.  (well,\nthat's messed up anyway!  No, wait--I forgot that 50+ year old rich\nman/plump man Weer is the one who sets out to the Doctor's office)\n\n6) the visit with Dr. V, where Weer sees Sherry Gold, we would like this to\ncome after the affair (perhaps only a few months after), and Weer seems to\nbe 40 at youngest (talking about his future stroke) . . . still possible, I\nguess (Dr. V's office is practically a corridor of time)\n\n7) I personally would like it to be prior to 1958, because that is the year\nthat LOLITA was published (and the affair with Sherry should prefigure\nLOLITA, or so it seems to me).\n\nOn my own two-sheet A.D. Weer calculator (history and date on one sheet,\nWeer's age and events on the other sheet), it is true that I listed 1953 as\nthe =earliest= possible date for GOLD HUNT (based on the coincidence of\n\"1928+25=1953\" and \"30+9=39\" numbers [Weer is 39 in 1953], I suppose).\n\nSo okay!  The new range for my thinking with regard to the Gold Hunt is\n1954 to 1957.  Seems easy enough to consider it at 1955, Weer aged 41 . . .\nhis \"poor man/thin man\" visit to Dr. V can be later the same year . . .\n\n=mantis=\n\n\nSirius Fiction\nHas Moved To\nhttp://www.siriusfiction.com/"
