Julia never declared anybody dead who wasn't dead. They were all dead. They didn't stay dead. Once upon a time my brother told his 4-year-old daughter to put a snail, whom she had named Bruno, back in the ocean, because: "Bruno will die if you don't. You don't want Bruno to be dead, do you?" The 4-year-old daughter answered: "Sometimes I want him to be dead, and sometimes I don't want him to be dead." That's about how it is on Dark Shadows.
Good to see you back and posting, Pansity.
