Good question — the new year is certainly significant, as a point when our appreciation of time is heightened. As for winter? Well, it’s only winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda is UTC-04:00, so you’re right, that must be the more northerly St. John’s. Sometimes Canada seems inscrutable, even without getting to its revocation of anti-prostitution laws, even without getting to Toronto. I appreciate the new-found understanding of time that you’ve offered.

St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, is UTC-4:00, but Newfoundland Standard Time is UTC-3:30. (The entry two prior is “05:40 in Halifax”, which works if it’s Halifax, Nova Scotia (also UTC-4:00)—and I haven’t mapped out the whole novel yet, but I’m pretty sure it has to be.)

But certainly Gentium is a nicer font.

The version of the novel that you have is now rare and precious.

So, you are right that the apostrophe needs to be added. I will amend the document to include it as soon as I can.
