Nothing much new\nto offer up, but for this:  it occurs to me that Weer's \nAunt Olivia -- after keeping three suitors at arms' \nlength for who-knows-how-long -- seems to have decided, \nin the end, to marry the man who told the best story.  \nSound like anyone from, say, CITADEL...\n\n(Actually, the party where Smart tells his tale reminds \nme not a little of Lord Byron's famous house party that \nled ultimately to the publication of Polidori's VAMPYRE \nand Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN: A bunch of men and one \nwoman with very \"advanced\" ideas sitting about telling\nghost stories...  Any odds whether Wolfe is likely to \nhave had this in mind or no?)\n\nWeer says Smart is the central character of his yarn;\nI think it's Olivia.\n\n--Roach"
