    In the fall. This is just the annual review, so it's the beginning of the process, in a way.

    I doubt they'd be impressed. Fear not, for I do much. No worries in this court.

    Only a life's ambition, that.

    Orlando is on one's curriculum, you know, and now Clarissa Dalloway's on the schedule; I wonder if I should spend March and April pigging out on everything she ever wrote.

    Kate / Lady Lucy Hampton-Wentworth says

    'Twas the demmed grand piano that's not played the same since. My shoes, and books, I rescued first -- though it did make it hard to paddle.

    You are the epitome of charming, Tinky darling. It's delightful to be back!

    I've only read your floods comment now -- and the truth of it is that yes, in fact, I was. All dry now, though! ;)

    Sorry it took me so long to vote for our next read. It's annual review time at the university. I've been typing and scanning and justifying my existence like a mad thing.

    Well, she was modelled from an identical ancestor.

    Lady Hermione says

    If you thought that my cow creamer was kitsch...I have seen some that make mine look like the height of good taste and elegant restraint (faints) I wish that I was being
    funny.

    Lady Dee says

    L'Homme in the masque de fer?

    Do let me know how you fare. I started it many years ago and even the enthusiasm of a child (and one who was mad on the legend!) couldn't take me very far.
    Perhaps the more sober interest of an adult shall prevail...

    ...present company excluded.

    At least this wasn't an Eco you felt compelled to struggle through even as it turned to quicksand!

    Frabjous Day says

    Because those I've erased were pages-long and embarrassing; there's no deniging it. I grow daily more disapproving of waffling and those who waffle, and suspect everyone, even myself.

    Are you acquainted with the great joy of deleting ten or twelve old reviews in one go? Probably not, I imagine, but I certainly am.

    One of my little charges waxed poetic about Henry James today. I thought of you immejiately.

    Sigh. Remember, always, that you have your looks. And the holy hand grenade.

    Something like that, I think. How are you, meanwhile, dear man?

    Lady Hermione says

    Just a tainy bit more, methinks. But the other one can't help it, and it was there very opportunely-I was not expecting to see a cow creamer as I walked through that shop on my way to somewhere else.

    Frabjous Day says

    I was serious when I said the business of ratings and stars had begun to baffle me, you know: I left TCB unrated for a month after I read it, but it looked odd on my shelves that way.
