-i get the characters in the story bc harriet is draining *me* as well. and I'm just reading about her
-^^ did appreciate that the vampire DRAINS tho. by her nature, the way she lives is through that draining. aspect i enjoy.

Chapter 16 done. I wonder if Harriet will do herself in because the novel seems to posit she is cursed and doomed, no matter what her good intentions are towards Anthony Pennell. Such a terrible premise!

So far this is a dreary soap-opera melodrama with unpleasant shallow characters and a rascist supernatural/eugenics element of energy vampirism... I hate them all.

Back in London and Harriet discovers that the Barroness' Red House is a dump.

Ethel died. Infant death is hard to handle see if it will be carried by Marryat.

Unsurprisingly the vain and good looking Ralph Pullen is hooking up with hot young Harriet Brandt (and energy vampire) over his cold prudish fiance Elinor Leyton. Except for all the sucking... Well, actually Harriet is abnoxiously saccarine and just wants to devour babies and it turns out gents too.
