Is anyone a proficient driver of [...] station wagons. I have to go into Stamford this weekend and the agency burdened me with a freighter.

Max and I will allow one session of courtesy weeping before we scope out a replacement.

[craquelure]

Oh dear. I'm heartbroken.

[shipwreckt]

I’ll think of you every time I toast bread, though I do hope you return unscathed and the mourning period is unnecessary.

[craquelure]

No, I meant I'm not coming home at all. Ever. Farewell, Eleanor.

[shipwreckt]

Well, I had initially assumed you were taking yourself out of existence in a display of dramatics hitherto unknown to man.

[craquelure]

No, I've decided to change my name and run away. Perhaps there's a circus or street-racing gang I can join.

[shipwreckt]

I think they generally require their members to snap on rhythm, so you might be denied entry to their gang.

[craquelure]

Years of ballroom dancing. Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of rhythm.

[shipwreckt]

It was the snapping I was most concerned with.

[craquelure]

I can practice.

[shipwreckt]

I have seen you try. It’s astonishingly bad.

[craquelure]

I taught myself how to make toast. I can teach myself how to snap.

[shipwreckt]

I believe that you believe it.

[craquelure]

You'll rue the day.
