'Do you remember the day we cut the lavender? And do you remember when the Russian music sounded in that half-empty hall? Oh, those memories compensate for more than I can say -'
'I keep on with my short stories ... But now they are done I don't believe they are much good. Too simple. It is always the next story which is going to contain everything, and that next story is always just out of reach.'
ONE OF ELEVEN COPIES, AND PERHAPS THE MOST DESIRABLE OF THEM ALL.
