Scenes from a marriage - The Talking Cat

Scene: Mabel and Fernando on livingroom couch. Cat Haley is sitting on Mabel's chest, and Mabel is dropping kisses on her cheeks.

Mabel - Are your kisses sweeter than wine?

Haley (Fernando) - Wouldn't you like to know!

I finished Major Pettigrew's Last Stand yesterday. I loved it. The beginning seemed a bit too cynical for what I was in the mood for--where every character is just sort of unlikable enough that it's hard to connect. But little by little Simonson built up a bit of community around the main characters, and she very slowly allowed the love story to transform Major Pettigrew until he moved from a certain pettiness to being a really heroic guy. It was very sweet.




Today I started The Red Door--the post-WWI mystery.
