No problem, Brian, I enjoyed your comments, it's always nice working with you. You know if you had remembered to check it then it probably would've been correct, that is always how it goes for us

Thanks for the update, Greg! I might actually be able to get this finished this weekend in that case, I can't believe how fast this project has come along. You have all been great

Hope you are ready to hear about Ferguson

I actually believe that Havelock is a [not so] thinly veiled reference to Havelock Ellis. I can't prove it of course, but it seems reasonable to me that The Knight's Move is a sort of commentary by Gerould on Ellis' BIRTH-CONTROL AND EUGENICS. published in the same year (1917), I have some ideas as to whom Chantry might represent, but they're not so direct as the name connection. I don't think that the 'referenced character', Ferguson, is meant to represent anyone in particular. Rather, I think he's a literary device by KFG to sort of summarize, maybe even poke fun at, scientific (statistics & probability) studies in the tradition of Charles Darwin's half-cousin Francis Galton. In the story, Ferguson, the scientist,is said to have reservations on the matter of Eugenics. I think his fiancee is meant to represent those in society who are sympathetic to arguments of Eugenicists but hypothetically appalled by the hypothetical 'execution' of those concepts in the matter of the train's wreck and ship's sinking. Of course it is absurd, to me anyway, that Ferguson could twice find himself in those circumstances and perform the real-time calculations he performs in making life (himself) and death (an other) decisions. A mere human doing that? Ridiculous. AI? Who knows? Cheers.

Here's the cast list for the Adventure of the Blanched Soldier for you, redrun, it is maybe slightly premature as Greg has not submitted his file yet but he let us know he would this weekend and I think we can trust him

Excellent, thank you, Inkell!
