Another example of the "me" generation failing to even check-up on their neighbors. This is a sure sign of the end of civilization.

She died in 1966. Civilization sure didn't seem to end then. Do you go around checking every apartment on your block, even the ones that have been "vacant" for forty years?

My dear Mudede:

"The wronged woman." Really? That's all you can offer regarding one of fiction's most enduring archetypes? Is Gatsby "that wealthy guy?" Is Bret Ashley "the woman in that bullfighting book?"

Surely you could peck out the relevant letters on your keyboard: M-i-s-s H-a-v-i-s-h-a-m.

Carry on.

@5 (Hartiepie), one place the story is from is some publication called The Stranger. Scroll down to the Friday June 20th Last Days entry. (It cites a UK's Daily Record story.)

No, Miss Havisham's mouse condo wedding cake still out does 60's era time capsule.

so she didnt hear the serbian-croatian war outside her window?

there is more to this story, im sure. however, if true, she dissapeared in yugoslavia and died in croatia without moving.

Miss H. has the grievance, great lines, and the cake (and goes out spectacularly), but Ms. Golik has politics: she is the Last Yugoslavian.

why didn't you just write her name, Miss Havisham?

Stop being needlessly obtuse.

Grant @11,

Speaking of intriguing dead people, when's that Marion Zioncheck movie coming out?

Must have been some damn good tea.

She expired waiting for whatever the Serbo-Croatian version of Godot is. And since Godot never comes, so did no one else. Valse triste.

So this was like, 20 years before Amanda Knox was born, and 40 years before she travelled to nearby Italy? So we can rule her out?
