    '...did we decide on a time for the 30th dec ?...'

    If there are no funny leaves on the line between Cork 
    & Dublin & if Iaranrod Eireann manages to surmount
    its reputation for tempramental behaviour we (my keeper
    & I) should be in Davy's sometime shortly after noon. 
    (I only suggest this early hour, considering the season that's 
    in it & remembering how crowded it used to get - 
    forty years ago - by 12.30) 

    We are both incredibly well preserved, if miniature, 
    seventy-year olds: she still beautiful & myself wearing 
    the remains of what the late Florrie Donoghue once 
    called 'that eighteenth century face.'

    I think I'll bring a copy of the Catcher to flash in case 
    mutual recognition isn't instantaneous.
