All Hallows' Eve, Chapter IX

Jul 26, 2010 23:29

Things are getting ugly for both our heroes and our villains. Betty has left her mother's house to live with Jonathan, Richard is also living with Jonathan because the flat that he shared with his dead wife now depresses him, Lady Wallingford is getting drunk and depressed, the Foreign Office is in on the conspiracy to, essentially, give the world to Simon in the vain hope that he'll leave them the fuck alone afterwards...oh, and Lester has to share an artificial body with Evelyn. Simon may be the most evil character in this story but Evelyn is by far the most annoying.

Anyway, the four main good guys (plus Evelyn) are now all together for the first time and going to confront Simon at his compound near Holborn. One chapter left, in which I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Lester and Betty probably defeat Simon with their love.

Also, Betty explicitly says that Lester is 'like [her fiancee] to [her]'.

books is good
