Yes, I've realised I'm going to have to come up with chapter titles now! However, I seem to have managed to come up with what should be a manageable convention for the chapters on this work (based on the two typed chapters so far, which both fell into place easily): dialogue quotes -- in fact, conscious misquotes -- from the chapter in question.
So for Chapter 1, I've used "Can it be Christine?", which is of course the *canon* line from Raoul's recognition scene, but which, like "Elementary, my dear Watson", he doesn't ever actually say in the rewritten dialogue here, and for Chapter 2 -- now awaiting final revision -- I used "We Can Make it Work", which is the theme of Raoul's marriage proposal, but which it turns out neither of them quite says verbatim ;-)
Ironically, "An Outsider and a Foreigner" would fit Chapter 2 better than Chapter 1; it was a direct quote from that chapter in the first place, which is what gave me the idea, but picked because I realised that it could theoretically be taken to apply to Christine instead of Hertha. But Hertha's 'foreign' status isn't really central to the story as it eventually came out, while Raoul's unattainable feelings are...
