The reading stopped where Alexander J. Dowie ends his proclamation with, “Caliban!” (15.1760).

Catherine Meyer, working on a image to render some of what was read, sends this sketch – a “first step of the drawing”, as she calls it – and a few words:

I have been deliberating some time about how to put a scene packed with so much information (stage directions) on paper. Maybe the following idea could be a solution for more of this kind of stage directions in the circe episode. 

I pencilled all the characters and objects mentioned in the passage (a cannon-shot, the man in the macintosh disappearing …). I chose a thick watercolour paper that leaves the option to watercolour the drawing afterwards.

I will think about how i am going to colour the sketch. Actually, it is already more than a sketch. We will see.

Otherwise, i must say, i like the circe chapter. It gives me a whole range of inputs.
