Clarice VO. Classic appearance of Greg Trask in the place of his good twin the Devil... Greg gloats good... he's swallowed one big demonic canary... I like the "intellectual game" business, because it seems like something a real enthusiast of 1897 might say. After he goes, great scrambling around scene between Quentin and Evan, as they try to pick up the pieces after having been found out in their black magic activities. You have to love all the desperate backstabbing! The most interesting thing in DS right now is Evan Hanley.
Later back at Collinwood.... welcome Minerva Trask! Did she appear in my tape gap? Q taunts her with talk about her husband and Judith, perhaps only accidentally turning out to be sort of right? Minerva leaves Judith a tiny jar of preserves and talks about them endlessly.
Greg is just full of ironic remarks delivered with a glint in the eye... "I've always known exactly what kind of man you are!" (To Tim) ... "I would still have (glint, pause) Mrs. Trask!" ... and yes DL: "something that will be remembered forever--even after you and I are dead!".
I didn't expect the whole Tim Shaw plot to be concocted and hatched so fast! Plot development in every episode, indeed! I'll guess a "précis" is a preliminary reading before writing out the actual translation.
