I haven't advanced much today for the simple reason that I'm almost done knitting my Doctor Who scarf, which has taken me nearly two months to complete. Now that I'm in the home stretch, it's hard to stop for some reading time.
I did forget to mention one character from yesterday: Mr. Morris. He appears to be the Owens' lawyer, who has set up some of the dealings happening on the island. He is clearly in the know with whatever is about to go on. He is described, quite bluntly, as a jew, though I'm not sure if that's relevant or merely a statement from the time in which it was written.
I've also encountered two other characters, the Roberts. This husband and wife are the caretakers and servants of the Soldier Island Manor, and they seem a bit off. More than one of the guests has described Mrs. Roberts as being a ghost of a woman, afraid of her own shadow. They don't seem to have any prior connection to the Owens, but their odd demeanor tells me there is something else going on there as well. Oh how I'd love to be able to type "The butler did it!" for my very first mystery!
