E-mail from D.:
"I misread "later on" as "I might include it in a lantern." I think
wherever it winds up, it would be cool lit up. What do you think?"
Dear D., Sometimes, pretty often, I think: I have to collect all the wonderful, funny, amazing things that lovely people write to me in e-mails and messages. I would choose one quote a day, and today the quote would be yours: "This whole conversation, of course, had to do with my being a fickle keeper-in-toucher." ... A couple of weeks ago the quote would have been from my friend M. saying: "I'm standing on the top of a mountain in a banana costume. Hey!"
E-mail from SM.: "It's going well, although I wish I had a real office chair and a decent working table and a sturdy music rest to keep the book open. And perhaps a mouse for my computer. And a couple of dictionaries. It would also help my concentration if the house was not full of French workmen, yelling and screaming and drilling. But the weather is nice."
