Dear Pearl,

The Best Surprise!  Caldonia and his pet Eva Catherine came for a visit today.  They were exhausted from their travels and Louise put them in the guest bedroom right after tea. Caldonia required two pillows, his head was so hard.  Eva Catherine needed no pillows at all - she just hung on the newel post and rested her wings until it was time for dinner.

I Remain, As Always, Your Devoted Miss Blue
