Dear Pearl,

Before there was Antoinette, Pearl, there was that beautiful Hawaiian girl who played a ukulele that had once been owned by Queen Lili'uokalani.  There were rumors she had come by it under less than honorable circumstances. . . But you and I always wanted to believe the best of everybody and, anyways, we simple loved the sounds she could get out if!  Remember the Chinese gentleman who came to her every performance? He begged her to marry him and live over the tea shop.  But she dreamed of returning to Hawaii someday and she finally did.  I still get postcards from her.  Do you too, dear?

I Remain as Always, Your Devoted Miss Blue
