Ah, well, there it is, then, Scottie B. I knew it would come out sooner or
later. You're tired of these crazy young Americans popping up on your
doorstep and asking you for tea, and you're beginning to empathize with the
old man.
I know, I know, my fault. Ruined it for everyone, didn't I?
But seriously. Yes, I did cringe a bit at it when I read it, too. I think
that if I was the one in line behind the old man at the deli counter, well,
that's great. I'd dine out on that one for years. But the seeking out, no.
It's just too much. (See that? Agreed with you this time, I did.)
Regards,
Cecilia.
