Greetings from behind enemy lines. Since last we spoke, this monstrous old house has been overrun with guests - they've stolen my privacy, and also the extensive collection of blankets and spare furniture with which I'd created my little recording nook and all-purpose snuggery. I am *not* pleased. Goodwill-towards-man is one thing, but there are limits, and this sudden crush of humanity has made it entirely impossible for me to record the next episode in the dubious saga of VC Adrian Ward, KBE, Alds, &c. Still, all is not lost. The Aldergate Papers shall carry on into the new year, just as soon as my hosts evict this festive mob and let me have my things back. In the meantime, it is my pleasure to offer a supercut of my own personal holiday favorite: "Told After Supper," a delightful compilation of Christmas Eve ghostliness by the inimitable Jerome K. Jerome. Happy holidays to one and all. Stay warm, stay safe, and I'll see you bright and early in 2018.
