I have started The Personal Librarian. I’m enjoying it so far, but I wonder at the characterization of Elsie de Wolfe, aka Lady Mendl.

I have already forgotten this, and I have to discuss the book a week from tomorrow ;D

DR ELMORE sometimes cats seem to be staring at you when you are feeling sickly or down, but they are actually fascinated by the real guardian angels that are holding your head....that they can see.

DR JohnG, I've been meaning for weeks to ask you if you've seen this PBS series  "The Great American Recipe?" I'm really enjoying it.

DR John, feel free to make more observations as you read.  I will save use them to refresh my memory :)

When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now does a handspring landing up on her toes
Anything goes.

All I know are the Cole Porter references.

If a copy of The Personal Librarian was available I would have asked DR George if it was a metered license book.

It's metered.  The audio edition has both options.  I didn't know that.

Thanks.  I will remove my hold on it and not check it out to browse.
