Let me hasten to say – in my best LL-veteran impersonation – what a great story!
I didn’t ‘get it’ when I read that in Hardly Knew Her – but then it emerged from the mists in To the Power of Three (I know, I know – TPT really came first – but not for me), and it came together
PS – how did they arrive at the number 52? Surely they did a 52-card pickup joke, no?
Terrific read the second/third time around.
That story has a splendid, ever so slightly delayed, <i><q>Oh, no</q></i>, at its end.
I had previously read this short story so when I read HKH I had an aha moment. All the pieces now fit. It is odd how these stories of LL stay with you as if the characters are real and you speculate about what is going on in their lives.
