Madam, I am surprised that you doubt the veracity of my claim to be a lord. I shall furnish proof in the near future by taking a selfie on the terrace. I will respond to the rest of your scurrilous epistle in due course, but in the meantime permit me to recommend my seminal work, Anatomy for Beginners.

Delightful, as usual, Rebecca. I love listening in on your conversations! I especially like the seagull story this week and a view of your clever crossword. . As far as your correspondent's credentials go ... I, too, have serious reservations about his medical qualifications and have yet to find his name listed in Burke's Peerage... Albeit, a very smart and funny man.

Fascinating to know that Steven King does that much mental math when reading!

I looked forward to reading this post when I had a quiet moment. Laugh out loud chuckles. You are a wordsmith extraordinaire. Still smiling.

I didn't get to see hardly any of the coronation as I was working that day. I probably saw 5 minutes. Oh well.

What amazes me about your letters back and forth is that you come up with so much to talk about. I thought you'd do a few and then that would be the end of it. I'm impressed! I wonder how long you can keep going?
