-- that a --little friend will be
coming to visit--. A --little friend-- who (it seems) will be just as
catastrophic and humiliating a mess as the one who has (just now) paid a
first most unwelcome social call.

No one wants to be a woman.

Taxing the limits of my own not-inconsiderable imagination, I have no

arriving in the masculine camp -- men take the gold medal and women,
alas, take the silver. It seems to me that women have the option
