Got up at 9:37.
Dreamed of a neighbour's dispute near our cottage resulting from someone pulling a stake out of the ground; a French comic book (I was thinking about how hard they are to find in Toronto); a book of children's puzzles; an LP of Mary Poppins songs; a church pamphlet for children from the '60s.
Dinner was pork chops (which I fried).
Saw the silent movie Moulin Rouge, about a cabaret star whose daughter gets engaged to a young aristocrat who decides he prefers the mother. (It's part of a series inspired by Guy Maddin, who appeared in person before it started.) There's a problem for Dr. Phil!
On my way to the Cinematheque I took a detour to see a rather small antiwar demo.
Chapter 21 of Jane Eyre is really sad, about the fates of the cousins she grew up with, illustrated above. [One puts duty first, the other pleasure, and they're both lost souls in different ways. What's clever is the subtext: Jane has developed an attraction to Rochester and faces a choice of whether to put duty or pleasure first.]
Found a Hardy Boys website.
