Thickening plots
The 1882 London Times has been updated. Things Are Not As They Seem, Shirley firmly believes, though I do not propose to enlighten you as to what he knows that guides him to that conclusion.
Vroomfondel is walking a very thin line. I wonder if he knows it.
As for Shirley himself, the one thing that probably is as it seems (though the poor chap is desperately trying to convince himself otherwise) is that Addison is gunning for him out of sight somewhere. (Addison is decidedly conspicuous by his absence from the _Times_, you will notice.) Madras and Rangoon should be troublesome, not that Bahrain was exactly a cakewalk.
