Where did Jem go? and can we trust him? trust him to our beloved Mary??These are two questions, but there's one more: Can we trust Francis Davey? I'm either spot on or wildly off here but I think there's something a bit stranger about the vicar. Call me crazy. Call me a slow reader. Call me collect.

“Dead men tell no tales, Mary.” Now that is a quote… and it is also intriguing; for, is our narrator hinting there is yet hope for Joss? Indeed, he just told a tale, horrifying as it was… am I reaching?

Not sure if Mary should trust Jem. If he's on the level, she has a much needed friend; if he's not, she needs to mind what she says, for he'll take anything she reveals back to Joss and that could be the end of her. I think she likes him. Her response to his voice; it was a visceral reaction, and you can't really do anything about that. I think eventually she'll have to trust him...

I’m still convinced Joss and his cronies are up to worse than mere smuggling. All these references to their souls? Yikes

At first I said, "okay, one of these olde-timey stories of damsels and horrible men." But then, chapter 3 went and changed my tune. I said, "There's something else going on with Joss Merlyn... besides being a drunk... something spectral perhaps..." I'm not sure but I know Daphne has never failed me before and so I'm pressing on... just like Mary Yellan, despite the present congregation at the inn!
