That's what they all say,I replied.And then it arrives and, with it, The Silence.Philemon nodded knowingly.
Editor's note: it was pointed out to me, today, that I was clearly very drunk by the time the following occurred.
The problem is,I told the Princess,that I've always been very drunk by the time I get around to making these. So, I never remember what I did the last time or if I'm actually doing it right.
