Can Page Seven be named

Yes.  I think we should name page seven Rupert...because why not? ;D

In the beginning, Franchot Tone is delirious. He doesn’t make sense, but he does mention the Lambeth Walk.

Lambeth, you’ve never seen.
Your skies aren’t blue.
Your grass ain’t green.

Muse Margaret called and once again had zero notes and loved all the new pages. The one little sequence I mentioned the other day as a gift from above, was her favorite thing in this batch of pages.
