So much to love here! The other Elizabeth Taylor has always been more favourite, but I look forward to learning about further others.

And I think the Home for the Friendless might be my takeaway. I always thought I'd someday start a Home for Wayward Women Readers but that also appeals.

Thanks Sara! And I love the idea of a home for Wayward Women Readers. I'll head up the men's auxiliary. Hope you're doing very well.

Bill, you have been so missed, along with your gimlet eye and dervish turns of phrase. I will be trying to work "[not] the sort of woman who would hurry to pitch her tent on some plateau of placidity" into every conversation for days to come.
