igenlodeFinally we are onto the last notebook of Arctic Raoul, after a slight panic when I couldn't identify it among the pile of various other books with other bits of other stories in them :-O (It's the one with "The Writing on the Wall" and the start of Hertha in it....)
2646 words of Chapter 33 typed so far, plus another page and a half still to go in the final notebook. I'm already over 120,000 words.
(It does seem to me that the entire business of the treasure might be an obvious target to leave out, given that the hoard got inflated to a bigger role (and value) than originally planned. If you omit all the references to that altogether you might be able to run Chapters 32 and 33 as a single section; if you reduce its value to just enough to pay for the wooden hut it wouldn't be such an issue....)
FFNet statistics have been down for over a month at this point; I went back into the library and discovered they *still* weren't working. But I don't suppose I missed much.
[Edit: final word count for Chapter 33 is 3409]
