Dear Tibby,
Grilled shrimp canapes, salmon gravlax (what the hell is that?), crisped spinach, and roast pork Ioin. The flower arrangements involve tuberose (huh?) and magnolia blossoms (her favorite!). I could go on for another forty-five pages, Tib, but I´ll spare you. It is ALL ANYBODY TALKS ABOUT in this place-of those people who actually talk, I mean I´m going out of my mind. What has my dad gotten into?

                                                          Love and bitterness,
                                                                 Carmen Lucille
