> Carol responds:

> I remember reading a novel as a little girl in which the child heroine
> shows her aunt a poem she's written and gets an unfavorable reaction.
> The girl says, "But it's blank verse!" to which the aunt replies
> dryly, "Yes. Very blank." I should read the book again considering
> that I still remember that scene after all these years. I think it was
> "Emily of New Moon." Has anyone else ever read that book?

Magpie:
I have--though I don't remember it very well.


> Carol, wishing that kids these days could get lost in books the way
> she used to

Magpie:
I'm sure they do!
