Oh My Dear Miss Blue,

The Scolding Louise has been transferred to Glocca Morra! I am enchanted with the idea of an Italian Tenor, rummaging through the cupboards in Louise's orderly kitchen, all the while imagining the opera stage. Powerful notes accompanying the slapping of the Pizza Dough. A brilliant move, Miss Blue. Fanny will find solace while she listens to the passionate sounds of an Italian Tenor Cook Embracing all that is Italian. He will entertain beyond his cooking duties; possibly teaching Fanny the favorite little poem/story, Little Gussapina. There is no end to an Italian's love of Opera.

I do hope that Linguini has the good sense to display the Red, White and Green Italian flag (it being So Stunning) on the Sideboard there in the dining room. Atmosphere is important to Italians.

In the meanwhile, here in the Village I am working determinedly with the folks responsible for the badly designed Intersection. Fraught with fecklessness. I fear nothing will come of it all.

Pearl, After All
