Thanks, Maud, for offering me this forum for the day. I hope more than five people read my entries, and that at least three of them concluded they hadn’t wasted their time. No, no, I take that back. I hope that at least three didn’t mind, EVEN IF they concluded they had wasted their time.

But, I think my guest-blogging has probably left you, the reader, with the same impression I have, which is that it will be nice on Monday to return here and find some informed, concise links to literary matters.

Thanks, Maud.
