Walk with Steve pm.

Eve called.

((Comments on Jones' vivid dream:

  • I've seen it noted that Jones was a hangman at the prison.
  • Jones had prison-officer colleagues named Plumb, Stevens and Rosen, so I've assumed they're the people mentioned here.
  • Hall was about to be married - see tomorrow's entry in Jones' diary. But there's no mention if Jones did play any music at or after the wedding ceremony.))
