While I'm waiting for Last and First Men to drop into the public domain, I thought I would add this to our collection of Wilkie Collins' works, as it's one of his novels that I haven't read.

Wikipedia says of it:  "The Law and the Lady is a detective story, and sensation novel published in 1875 by Wilkie Collins. It is not quite as sensational in style as The Moonstone and The Woman in White."

Ok, noted. I go on vacation in a week until January 11 so someone else may have to fill in while I am out.

I'll continue assigning projects as usual because the system randomly
picks, but if anyone's on vacation when things come up I'll just handle
it myself.
