ellyssianOnly a wee bit more written - 10,770 words now - a handful of those in further outline. If those brief notes are any indication, 15,000 will be a mark soon passed, and 20,000 a far more likely destination.
Jilkey's thread was interwoven - two passes betwixt existing scenes, as he voices his concerns over his former shipmates fate, and remembers how the mouse once chased the cat away. He has more to remember still, but that will come.
Next up, those former shipmates take her for her word, though it spreads naught but lies. If it isn't apparent in her brief, fiery appearances, Lady MacBathory has managed to pull strings in the readers as she has with the crew.
It won't be long before she as much tells them she is an actress - a truth, whether or not she played a part when they closed out the Globe. Even as she tells poor Pelham how she saw daggers before her, she whispers sweet nothings of power and deceit, guiding his hand towards her own desires.
And unlike the character she claims to have played upon stage, she seems to have few qualms about courage and sticking places.
