The Night Circus- Part Two (Illumination): Chapter Twenty-Four (Rêveurs) - The Good Side of Obsession

So this has happened again. I am so sorry, those of you who believe I can properly schedule. I put off doing the daily chapters this morning because I am by no means a morning person, and I was out quite late. Though, if it soothes at all, I was watching magicians perform, so I suppose you could call it research.

Anyway, this chapter begins with Herr Frederick Thiessen receiving advance information as to where the circus will be, in...Saxony. So they won't go to Germany, but they'll go to Saxony. All right then.

He, of course, spends as much time as possible there, his obsession with the circus growing.

Someone from the city newspaper convinces him in the customary Night Circus way (with alcohol) to publish his journal of observations in the newspaper.

His articles end up in Sweden and Denmark and France and London (awfully specific considering the other places were only by name), and he starts a following. I would call it a cult, but cults have to have principles that are widely considered strange or bizarre. 

The name of this club: the rêveurs. They follow the circus around and alert each other with cards, with Thiessen as their leader. He makes clocks for them as well, and even develops the rêveur fashion: black and/or white and/or grey with a hint of bright red.

This has to be my favorite color scheme ever.

The circus, because the circus knows all, learns of them, and often shows their gratitude by offering food or free admission.

This chapter ends with Thiessen replying to his letters and finding one from Celia, full of observations about the circus and the best clock in the while damn universe. He then begins to reply. Cue beginning of friendship.

Shatter Me Chapter Twelve will be up shortly and next chapters of both will be up later today.
They should be finished early, but I might not be able to release them, as today I'm flying back out to my nonspecific hometown in California.
