The following were left outside Blythe and Alice's door on the evening of August 24 by an anonymous (but obvious) benefactor. They were addressed to Blythe Vhoori Stoker.
Two (2) covered bowls of pudding
(chocolate and vanilla)Seventeen (17) primroses
(being the only flowers L could find at short notice)Two (2) copies of Voltaire's novel
Candide (braille)
(because 1 is, by definition, not a prime number and L couldn't bear to ruin a perfectly good care package by including such a quantity. Yes, he's a nut.)Three (3) heartfelt apologies, each recorded on its own tape. Tape One is labeled "Selfishness," Tape Two is labeled "Cowardice", and Tape Three is labeled "What Matters Most."
