Dear Pearl,

What a day you had yesterday, dear friend! All that spinning and dizziness and the useless calling out for it to stop. . .it reminds me of the high jinx aboard the good ship Lollipop all those years ago. Remember? The sailors cranked Old Man Trouble up into that basket and flew him back and forth like a kite in the stiff ocean breeze. To teach him to never steal another tin of sardines from the captain's table, they said. You and I thought it was so funny at the time. All that drama for sardines! Norwegians!But of course it's quite another thing to be dizzy for no good reason. I shall risk insulting your extensive grasp of all things medical by reminding you to carry a celery sachet with you. There is no better remedy for vertigo in all the world than celery! Why else would we put it in potato salad?

I Remain Your Devoted Miss Blue
