Dear Pearl,

So you are famous in the Village? Yet another conquest for you, Dear. Everywhere you go you are adored. You will carry the day for Hillary come election time! Do be careful what you say off the cuff though, won't you? As Emily Dickinson so presciently noted, "Fame is a fickle food, Upon a shifting plate." Keep a firm hold upon the plate, Pearl, and don't actually swallow anything!

I Remain Your Devoted Miss Blue
