re: #17 Sherlock Hound

1692. I’m a Salemmite. That year looms very large for us still.

Hey, I’m from Massachusetts too!

But srsly, have you read Stacy Schiff’s recent “The Witches: Salem, 1692”? If not, I highly recommend it. ;-)

Schiff also wrote a very good bio of Vera Nabokov, which I also recommend, but that’s another story.
