Leningrad vs. Saint Petersburg (an early morning realization)
3 am writing leads to some backtracking, case in point while typing Marie's line in 'The Adventure of the Captain's Daughter': 'We don't receive much news here, not as in Moscow or Saint Peters...' pause and sigh, erase the s-r-e-t-e-P t-n-i-a-S, and replace with 'Leningrad'.
Somehow I forgot I was in the 1930s. A lackadaisical case of the mornings.
