"8 August 1940, postmark. Picture post card, Manoir Richelieu, Canada; Dear
Mr. Burnett)
Salinger writes about Paris."
Please recall that Jean de Daumier-Smith has recently returned from Paris.

I'm sure you noticed in the story: "I picked Picasso, I might mention,
because he seemed to me the French painter who was best-known in America. I
roundly considered Canada part of America."

Salinger gets pretty specific regarding the setting of the school: "--a
tenement building, really--in the Verdun, or least attractive, section of
Montreal."

Another compatriot of yours: "... a twenty-three-year-old *Toronto*
[emphasis added] housewife, who said her professional name was Bambi Kramer.
[...] Miss Kramer had enclosed a glossy, eight by ten print of herself
wearing an anklet, a strapless bathing suit, and a white-duck sailor's cap."
