RE: How long to sea mail a package to the UK from australia? I can&#39;t seem to find a specific time period for how long it takes to mail packages to the UK through sea mail... except dates for Christmas deliveries, which are almost 3 months prior.
One thing a suspense date IS NOT, it is not a date by which time something is required to be done in most cases. It's just a control for any needed follow up. In the real world, a suspense date is a date that something needs to be done by.
This technique of ending suspense may be related to the fact that Treasure Island was originally published as a series in a periodical â (1881) â so it was important to end each episode in a way that would make readers eager to look for the next one in new issue.
