I replied that I could not answer with any degree of certainty, for the ice had not broken until near midnight, and the traveller might have arrived at a place of safety before that time; but of this I could not judge.

Soon after this he inquired if I thought that the breaking up of the ice had destroyed the other sledge.

📆 I've been technically running a day behind for two days now, don't think I'm trying to slide one by you. 😅 It was sheer EUPHORIA yesterday when I got the pic in at 5pm-17hrs late! Now it's nearly 4pm and I still haven't found a doable idea. I keep thinking eventually I'll do 2 in 1 day to catch up, but then meet a next level difficulty. I won't use pics that weren't "it" to at least meet the 🕰️, as it at least demonstrates state of the art, because the 🕰️ mustn't be #1 objective. Or should it? 🤔

“Certainly; it would indeed be very impertinent and inhuman in me to trouble you with any inquisitiveness of mine.”

Soon after, when he was alone with me, he said, “I have, doubtless, excited your curiosity, as well as that of these good people; but you are too considerate to make inquiries.”

This aroused the stranger’s attention, and he asked a multitude of questions concerning the route which the dæmon, as he called him, had pursued.

“Then I fancy we have seen him, for the day before we picked you up we saw some dogs drawing a sledge, with a man in it, across the ice.”

His countenance instantly assumed an aspect of the deepest gloom, and he replied, “To seek one who fled from me.”

Once, however, the lieutenant asked why he had come so far upon the ice in so strange a vehicle.

🛠️ Shortly after that update, I load up the engine to finish my picture and rediscover why I fell asleep: the seed/evolve tool busted at 1:12a. (On my list: build my own engine!) Last time it did this was a 7-day hiatus, so it could be a while. I spent a few hours trying to prompt something passable, as that still works, but while they're great pics, they're always a little off. So these won't be how I would have done it, but they'll hold the fort for now. Each will be best of ~250 attempts.

Sometimes your friend
upon hearing about yet another all-nighter,
is like
"Get some sleep!" 🤨
and you're like
"Yes sir will do—in just 9 more years!" 🤪
and then before you know it
🥱 XXXONNNNNNNKKHHH 😴
you fall asleep!
like a log!
without finishing your picture! 😱
Well, ain't the end of the world,
but will be a little late. 😅
🗒️ Production Notes
Recalling the first 🐱 pic on Day 72, 151 seems like meg engine gains. But, seeding with 72 still produces equivalent results. What's changed between 72 & 151 is I now run iterations on crops of the image as well. This allows the engine to focus on just the desired area, rather than distract on its priorities or be overwhelmed. It makes for better images, but takes several more hours labor. Given the gen-art trajectory, tho, this level-up is surely inevitable, and soon.

When my guest was a little recovered I had great trouble to keep off the men, who wished to ask him a thousand questions; but I would not allow him to be tormented by their idle curiosity, in a state of body and mind whose restoration evidently depended upon entire repose.

I never saw a more interesting creature: his eyes have generally an expression of wildness, and even madness, but there are moments when, if anyone performs an act of kindness towards him or does him any the most trifling service, his whole countenance is lighted up, as it were, with a beam of benevolence and sweetness that I never saw equalled.

When he had in some measure recovered, I removed him to my own cabin and attended on him as much as my duty would permit.
