At some point, I may even have a reasonable calendar, but for now, here's my best guess:

ADD DEATH DATE OF MR ARCHIBALD WINTER SUFFIELD (Book has it c. 6-7 April)

  • 4 December - 30 January: Hildescheim / Harker Journal
  • 29 January - 27 February: Log of the Demeter
  • 3 March: Storm which brings the Demeter
  • 4 March: Logbook of Demeter printed
  • 31 March: Archibald Craven takes a set of photos of Miss Juliette Parton, formerly engaged to Sebastian, but currently engaged to Arthur, 3rd son of George Godolphin Osborne (aka the Duke of Leeds).
  • 3 April 1894: Liesl arrives in Budapest
  • 4 - 6 April: Liesl treats Immanuel.
  • 6 April: Lady Carradine's party. Archibald takes photographs of all the guests.
  • 7 April: Archibald notices that something is unusual about Mr. de Ville's photographs.
  • 8 April: Archibald consults Sebastian.
  • 10 April: Liesl in Varna, telegraphs Sebastian for the second time. Sebastian, Roxana, and Archibald at a party. No de Ville, but Carmilla present and arranges to stay with Roxana and Archibald.

(The Orient Express, which actually ran from Budapest to Varna (!) took four days to go from Paris to Istanbul; so that seems about right.)

  • 11 April: Roxana learns her son Edgar has seen faeries. She telegraphs Sebastian. Sebastian telegraphs Herman.
  • 12 April: Herman comes to London. Sebastian leaves for Misselthwaite and sends work to Herman and Liesl. Archibald has a second photo session with Miss Juliette Parton.
  • 13 - 19 April: Various travels as folks converge on Misselthwaite Manor. Photographs developed. Faeries, Carmilla, illnesses. Also, Juliette becomes ill.
  • 13 April: Archibald returns photos for no money to Juliette's father, Sir Robert.
  • 20 April: Liesl arrives at Misslewaithe. Session one ends here with Carmilla's flight and many Discoveries. Many relatives arrive. In London, Lady Carradine writes demanding the return of all photos from Archibald and that he make no mention of her ball or their acquaintanceship or she will not be able to answer for the consequences.
  • 21 April: Much info is dumped on people.
  • 22 April: Roxana has vanished. Owen has left. Archibald attacked in his studio by Mr. de Ville. Flees to a party and to Beatrice.
  • 23 April: Everyone meets in London at Mrs. Pat's, and info is again dumped.
  • 24 April: Herman, Liesl, Sebastian, and Beatrice (Beatrice Stella Tanner aka Mrs Patrick Campbell aka Mrs Pat) split four ways, looking for information.
  • 25 April: Sebastian Clears Heat. Mrs. Pat travels.
  • 26 April: Mrs. Pat Returns.

  • Herman: Public Bath House. Research earthquake in Romania and area around Hermanstadt.
  • Sebastian: Talk to Inspector Cotford.
  • Liesl: Research Real Estate Transaction.
