Dear Pearl,

I do hope my letter finds you less tippy than before, Pearl. How you managed to add to your opus while twirling is quite beyond my comprehension. But I am so glad that you did. Fanny and I were near tears imagining the stillness of the long quiet seashore the morning after the stormy night. What peace and beauty you described!

All is well here. Melba is frequently with Jack on the links. But she is a good and caring mother to Fanny when she has the time. Yesterday she arranged for the Tooth Fairy to leave a small fortune under Fanny's pillow in exchange for a somewhat grisly looking second molar. Louise spent the morning hissing about some people trying to buy some other people's affection. But just before lunch our dear little Fanny bought everyone in the house a Vespa with her windfall. And Louise had to admit that she'd been a bit hasty in her opinions. Melba thought I should send you the photo Jack took of her posing with hers. How that woman loves to pose!

I Remain, As Always,

Your Devoted Miss Blue
