Rev Thomas Stephen's 1832 publication, 'A Poetical Guide to the Isle of Mann', has brought us to what he calls 'Dunlop's Ellerslie left in the lurch'. We start to find out about one-time owner of the farm, Anthony Dunlop, and we two personal glimpses of him, one as an older agriculturalist by Hannah Bullock in 1816, and the other by Scottish poet, Robert Burns, in a letter to Anthony's mother in 1790, when Anthony was 16.

Bram Stoker's ancient mariner, Mr Swales, is continuing with his explanation as to why the gravestones in the churchyard at Whitby are full of lies. Mina Murray and Lucy Westenra are a bit taken aback by it all.
