Our dear Edwin is once again on his travels, visiting one of civilization's more remote edges, which, apparently, the internet has not yet reached. His housekeeper Madame Harker has assured the editor that he will be sending in his next column very soon, and kindly requested that we not telephone her at this particular time of day, as it is when she prefers to devote her full attention to decontaminating the kitchen in the aftermath of Drood's scientific experiments, some of which continue autonomously even in his absence.
