If it doesn't include the part about the opium,
it's a whitewash.

I don't get the show at all, so the point is moot

Too bad... it was an interesting show. I already knew the book came about
as a challenge when she and Percy were in Geneva with Lord Byron as to who
could write the best "ghost" story. I did not know she was only age 19 at
the time. Goodness, if she'd been 20 she'd have been an old maid!

OB Food: I wonder what they ate for dinner? I'm picturing roasted
pheasant.

You should all expereince spending midnight at Halloween up on the top of
the Abbey mound in Whitby on a seat by the graveyard - unforgettable and I
was only 11 (62 years ago!!) - the war was raging and the blackout prevailed
everywhere. Changed my undies when I got home - honest !
