Fanny is so delighted to have more of your story, Pearl. She says her favorite things in the world are pancakes and sausages and the way the air feels after a stormy night. Also she wants a pet goat. Melba won't allow it, of course, so she follows the antics of the fishermen brothers' pet with special interest. She's in her room right now drawing goats with the colored pencils Louise brought back from her honeymoon at the seashore - they say EMMETT'S OCEAN MOTOR INN on each and every one. Toujours l'amour, if you will.

I was most disturbed to hear of the misbehaving crows there and in the Orient. In the gentle times we knew as children, crows represented the very height of genteel husbandry, did they not? Or was that just the English side of the family?
