Carol:
Interesting speculations/explanations about Lupin Sr. Sorry I snipped
them, but I don't have anything to add as I have a completely theory.
Just curious as to why you think "wire-rimmed spectacles imply a
degree of poverty." In the U.S., at least, they cost at as much as
plastic rims, and I wear them by choice because I like them.
