Wolf Worm

As I write this, it has been eleven months since Halder’s death, and I am still living in the house that Louisa’s money built.

Observations on the Habits and Developmental Stages of Parasitic Insects will be published tomorrow, written by an enterprising young doctor named Ainsley.

It includes plates credited to Sonia Wilson and Louisa Gregor, and while it is unlikely to be in most drawing rooms, I am told that it will be invaluable to academics in the field.

Halder’s name appears only in the author’s note, where Ainsley notes that his widow very graciously bequeathed his notes and his collection to the author, which “went a fair way to making this work possible.”
