Fanny Vandegrift - The article is a stub. Completely uncomplete at the end. Death of R. L. St. The next man, son of one of F. V.'s school friends. Etc. - Delabarquera. --172.208.75.121 22:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

You're right. So fix it. Find a source that relates the end of her life and add the source and what they have to say. Wjhonson 00:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, there is one little problem: I am German, and my English is, frankly spoken, "not so good". So I will write the German article. (After vacation in France, starting tomorrow.) If there is someone who will correct an attempt of my translation? _But_: there must be GB- or US-readers of Stevenson's novels who know St.'s and Fanny's life and are able to complete this article blindfold?! :-) -- "While Alexandra Lapierre's biography of Fanny Stevenson has been criticised for its flights into fiction, her assessment of Stevenson as 'more barbaric, more baroque than anything I could have imagined, more humane and more monstrous, [an] American woman [who] embodies a myth and world in herself' does not mark the extreme of the romanticisation of Fanny. Alexandra Lapierre, Fanny Stevenson: Muse, Adventuress and Romantic Enigma (London: Fourth Estate, 1995), p. 4 -- see here -- Delabarquera. --172.178.79.186 20:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Your writing (above) is perfectly acceptable English. Any grammatical errors, I would be willing to correct. However I don't have a source for the end of her life, so go ahead and provide the factual information and I'll fix the English. If it needs it. Wjhonson 21:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Wjhonson! Thanks for compliments regarding my English exercises. -- Last sunday I have heard an interesting and very informative broadcast about Fanny V., broadcasted by the "Bayerischer Rundfunk" (Bavarian Broadcast). I will hear it again and after reading the script I will try to formulate a provisional chapter after vacation. It _will_ need grammatical and also word corrections, I am quite sure. -- Delabarquera.
