There is no proof, Septimus. The thing that is perfectly obvious is that the note in the margin was a joke to make you all mad.

I am almost done The Baker's Apprentice. It was exactly as I expected. And now I am about to embark on a quest for the Mazurka bar, which the bakery in the novel sells.

Let the Great World Spin is beautifully, carefully written. It is a book with which one must take one's time.

Just started Deliverance this afternoon, and broke out my pretty Persephone Press edition of Cheerful Weather for the Wedding.

But in the meantime, I am rereading Tom Stoppard's brilliant play, Arcadia.
This man will always be Septimus Hodge to me.

LOVED Arcadia. Saw it when it opened in NYC in 1995 with Billy Crudup, Blair Brown, Victor Garber, and Robert Sean Leonard. My sister was on a major RSL kick at the time and came all the way from Chicago to see it with me.

Oh, I wish I could see Arcadia performed. Have you read Good Evening Mrs. Craven or Mariana? Those are two of my recent Persephone favorites (okay, the only one that hasn't been a favorite was William: An Englishman).
