The Jelly Gums have had quite the workout, yes. (Amused myself by offering her some during out tête-à-tête on Monday. Quite baffled her.)
As to this evening: I am as exhausted and cranky as I feared I might be, but equally in need of a companionable drink and adult company. (The chance to submerge myself in a topic other than my own would likewise be welcome; do bring your manuscript with you.) My quarters, after supper? (Or would that be risking scandal? You've no doubt a better sense than I. But my quarters have the library.)
Glad you enjoyed the book, and look forward to discussing it. (And others. Do I detect you have read Korzybski? Be still, my beating heart.) It is a relic of another time and another world, indeed -- but an excellent window nonetheless. Children's literature often is, I've found: it says so much, in so few words, about what 'everybody knows'.
I shall be at supper tonight -- working up the energy to haul arse back to my quarters for a soak in the bath first; my 7ths are delightful but exhausting -- save me a seat.
