in the prehistoric age when I was but a lad and this thing was just 
taking flight, I wrote long letters to you - Roslyn - and received 
beautiful polite epistles in return. Little did I know that the very 
person with whom I was communicating then would turn up white, 
angelically and incredibly beautiful on the arm of my future editor and 
friend. Eh bien, c'est comme ca - and thank goodness for you both! 
John." Laid in is a homemade Christmas card from Nichols SIGNED by him
