Updated: May 17, 2025

I don't know; I think I preferred the idyllic flavor I was beginning to find in the presence of the ordinary, futureless young girl, voyaging under the chaperonage of her own innocence, the Little Sister of the Whole Ship. But this crepusculant prima donna no, I don't like it. Though it explains some things. These splendid creatures are never sent half equipped into the world.
