igenlodeWell, I was right about the three days to a week from last Sunday to finish Chapter 13; I provisionally completed it a couple of days ago and am now definitely launched on what is going to be the final chapter (bar epilogue) unless it massively overruns. I'm currently dealing with Christine's account of the Final Lair and with Hertha's musings on mobs (since they're not historically keen on Jews she isn't very comfortable with them -- fortunately she was still stuck up in the managers' box at the time). Four pages left in the notebook; two pages written on this chapter so far.
Also, I'm going to need a new pen filler; the identical replacement pen that I managed to get off eBay that came with a vintage squeeze-filler appears to be suffering from a perished ink-sac, as it is not holding very much ink and is staining my fingers when I squeeze it (ink is not supposed to come out at that end!) I was quite surprised that it was working in the first place, as who knows how old the rubber was -- but since the pen happened to come with a filler, it saved paying postage on a separate unit at the time.
