You're probably right about HBC being too old. Rats. She's fabulous. I hope they find someone equally fabulous. I have doubts that such a woman exists. Not Kate Winslet. While I think she's excellent in some movies, I can't quite see her in this. She's played older characters too often, even if she isn't too old herself.

Now I want to read it again to see CF and CBC as Lascelles and Drawlight. Rats.

I think we should register www.alandaviesasjonathanstrange.com. Perhaps it needs hyphens.
