    I'll be looking that book up, Becky. Thanks! And thanks as always for being a faithful part of these events. It would not be a true experience without you being a part of it. Hope you've had a good Summer and have an even better Autumn.

    I hope you enjoy My Cousin Rachel. I listened to that on audio and loved Jonathan Pryce's narration, but I might have to eventually get back to it one day in the printed form. Have fun with the challenge!
