Time's Winged Chariot

Had planned today as a day off, to complete work on chapter 7, but the fates conspired against me and I was called back into work for an urgent meeting which I couldn't avoid.  Then, when that was shifted to 90 minutes later, even the chance of having an afternoon free began to recede.  In the end I managed 90 mins at the end of the day in the Bodleian checking online newspaper references but feeling a bit frustrated at present, as this was pretty much the only work day I had free till Christmas.
