In the flickering half-light of a 1966 evening somebody filled four immaculate pages with this Montblanc while waiting for the family telephone to become available, because Uncle Dennis had somehow turned "just confirming Tuesday" into a forty-eight minute discussion about carburettors. By the time the receiver was free, the letter had become a novella and Tuesday had acquired several unnecessary complications.
