update on Work in Progress :: *Portrait with Death*

 The rough shape is coming along. 

Unexpected characters have entered. Expected characters have better motives.

Same murderer, but two suspects may replace that one. Method of murder remains the same. Opportunity: oh, lots of people.

Here's the research in the past two weeks:

Russet apples

Drinks in 1920: Sidecar, Tom Collins, John Collins, gin and tonic, scotch and sode, whiskey neat, highball

Calcott automobile ... someone's driving somewhere.

camera and ways to develop film and how to make photo prints and enlarge photo prints, the various washes and drying times. And how to ruin film before it becomes a negative.

Lanvin fashion, carnelian eardrops, vintage wristwatches for ladies

oil paint drying times

Bright Young Things

Irish surnames. Scottish? No, let's keep him Irish.

different sizes of Army Units in Britain ... and ranks in the army

names of English villages ... because you can't say "THAT village" over and again.
