And I've been getting short ones from my mother, after giving her a copy of
_Quinn_.  They're not particularly useful, more along the lines of "It's
all your fault that I stayed up until dawn" and "Now I don't have anything
to read on the flight to Chicago" (Sunday morning and Sunday
afternoon).  On Tuesday morning she was back again and complained that
she'd forgotten that Olsson's didn't open until 10:00 after having gone
down to get Sinai Tapestry, followed by a report after lunch that they had
all of them so she'd gotten it.

She had to be at work for a couple of days and her study down at the house
was being painted so there was a pause with only a note of thanks but "Of
course, now I have to buy the Jerusalem Quartet so you cost me money but
I'll let you borrow the ones you don't have."  Thus it wasn't until this
Monday morning that I got an email, obviously sent almost as soon as she'd
gotten into town:

"I'm totally hooked.  I finished Sinai Tapestry and now have to buy the
other three.  You should be ashamed."

I've tried to explain that it's not me, it's this wicked friend of mine,
but to no avail.  Michael, you do seem to keep getting me into trouble!
