The water heaving gently and the mewling of seagulls. A HOT summer on the beach.
    Someone took the shawl and someone gave it back. There are strange courtesies in this place and more tolerance than I could ever have believed, just as there are features of my own behaviour I could never have believed either. Although I do have a certain status, I have had to give up any illusion of being in control, and I have to limit talking, making this a substitute. It is my chance to rationalize. At leas
