So I have been testing out different types of invisible ink, and I am here to tell you that milk does not work. It just makes the paper wrinkly. I have higher hopes of lemon juice. Anyone else have ideas?
In other news, I've been reading Leslie Fiedler's Love and Death in the American Novel, apropos of nothing in particular. And I was interested to see that his description of George Lippard is still infecting our views of him today--accusing him of "Dark Temperance," although that isn't Fiedler's term. In short, it's the claim that Lippard looks at vice to expose its villainy when really he just likes to watch the nasty.
