Tim, you haven't read the scatalogical letters then, eh? :) There was a lot
of very passionate, readable stuff exchanged between Nora and James--didn't
mean to characterize it ALL as prurient or inappropriate. I think the
original volume of Letters included some of this. But there were also some
pretty, well, embarrassing exchanges as well. At least to my thinking. James
was a Freaking Odd Bird, in my opinion, and I tend to pity Nora more than
anything else (and I know, it takes one to know one :) ).
good job avoiding the mines :)
