Chowder for breakfast, and chowder for dinner, and chowder for supper, till you began to look for fish-bones coming through your clothes.

Wednesday October 8: "Kiss Me Again, Stranger" by Daphne Du Maurier.
"I looked around for a bit, after leaving the army and before settling down, and then I found myself a job up Hampstead way, in a garage it was, at the bottom of Haverstock Hill near Chalk Farm, and it suited me fine."

I won’t spoil it! When I recommend God of the Woods I tell customers to lock themselves in a room so no one will interrupt them.

I absolutely LOVED The True True Story! On my Baker's Dozen 2025.

Tuesday October 7: "Split Second" by Daphne Du Maurier. "Mrs. Ellis was methodical and tidy. Unanswered letters, unpaid bills, the litter and rummage of a slovenly writing-desk were things that she abhorred."

Monday morning.
Underneath the convention center a sidewalk and street. Lit by green lights, red lights from the tail of a car, and a burst of yellow light.

Monday October 6: "The Lady Maid's Bell" by Edith Wharton.
"It was the autumn after I had the typhoid. I'd been three months in hospital, and when I came out I looked so weak and tottery that the two or three ladies I applied to were afraid to engage me."
