Jacob's section was the hardest to write so I'm really glad it worked for you!

Rowling is terribly, delightfully heavy-handed with Queenie's period lingo (and Newt's Briticisms). I'm keeping three tabs open for 1920s slang!

Booklegger & Smutelf is a variation on "Bookleggers and Smuthounds", a fascinating essay on the circulation of "gallant" (read: smutty) books during the Prohibition era. The author mentions at one point that some retailers didn't look into the books, just snatched whatever title sounded titillating, and so I just had to write poor Newt spotting his darling book on a naughty flyer. Mr Smutelf should buy himself some glasses!
