I think you write a ravishing serial and I am just dying to know what Jeelcebhoy does if you have one of Madgo'ʼn leg amputated. It would be such fun! Seeing Jecfcebhoy I mean. I think Madge la fine character but just a little strong, don't you think? I always hoped that a dimple was more attractive to mon than rugged lines on the face, but if you think so It must be right. Do write me a personal latter, and tell me your views. I am simply itching to know, I only have rugged lines on my feet-Froda.
