Prunes and Prism
RULES FOR YOUNG LADIES: Some arch advice on snagging a husband. Exercising the mouth into a pretty shape through repetition of certain words seems to have been an indoor sport for young nineteenth-century girls; in Little Dorrit, Charles Dickens' overly bred girl repeats, "papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism."

Aw, thanks! I'm going to put up more photos as soon as I can figure out how to make a Flickr stream, or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
Listen, congratulations for having the self-awareness to see the Paris disaster coming and head it off at the pass. I just had no idea this trip was going to be so stressful -- I think it's just that we've never taken a trip that was city-oriented AND involved so much driving. When we went to Maine last summer there were only two roads: One went to the lobster shack, and the other to Wal-Mart. Well, live and learn.
