I've just started reading it. I find it slow-going, but interesting. My copy (also Penguin Classics) has page 296. I'll let you know what is on it when I get there. Or I could fax it to you or something.

: In my copy, page 296 is completely blank. This appears

: It is the Penguin Classics edition (probably the only

: of the plot lines appears to climax at that point, and
: I would love to know exactly what happened.
