You know on the postcard, how there's a house, with a sign in front of it that says Norham Gardens? Well, I figured out that the house is where St. Sophia's school is in Lyra's Oxford! Cause Dame Hannah says that her College aquired a large house in North Oxford to set up the boarding school, and Mary Malone says the house is near her flat is in North Oxford, and on the map in the book, St. Sophia's is right near Mary's flat! So yay! I've solved the mystery! It's not Will's house, as some people thought...

Fine - the house on the postcard may well be St Sophia's boarding school. It's not St Sophia's College though - that in our world is Lady Margaret Hall, which you can see on the ground in 'our' Oxford.
Whyever would anybody think it was Will's house? Will's house is in Winchester, not Oxford. An hour's drive down the A34.

Because there are some not-so-bright people out there!
So yeah, I'm pretty sure that it is St. Sophia's Boarding School.
Shoot me if it isn't.
Oh, and this is off topic, but what is with that 'Grazer', 'Sraffie' thing under the usernames? Is it a kind of hierachy, or something?

Of course, if dryers were the link between the worlds, then Will would be spending all his free time jumping into dryers.
We must build the Republic of Heaven in the dryer...
