ms. plath does make some references to the little
prince and winnie the pooh too, but she lent catcher
to the girl. i use catcher the same way the aviator
used the drawing no. 1. if people think it's a hat i
don't talk to them about anything important.
oh to be french or not to be french,
what rotten luck.
