Another Quick Note.

The present spell of darkness is proving persistent. (The dream-that-wasn’t-a-dream in the early hours was truly disturbing.) And yet, in spite of this dolorous state of mind, a chance encounter at twilight encouraged me to offer a Once Upon a Time story by way of a rare blog post. I considered it; I composed it in my head; I reasoned that it would make a good post; but I let it go because there was one indisputable impediment: I had no right to make it. It would inevitably have been soured with a whiff of the judgemental and it might have caused offence, or at least disquiet, to a treasured individual.

I intend to make another post – assuming the light doesn’t lift in the meantime – next week on the anniversary of this blog.

Meanwhile, Miss Charlotte Brontë and her heroines, the Misses Helstone and Keelder, are proving to be most diverting company.
