Private to Avram - 2:10 PM
I've been thinking about the magpies and trying to remember the things you said. Did you count how many there were?
It's just that I found this... well, it's not a rhyme, but it's a sort of an old wives' adage about magpies from a book I was reading.
One for sadness Two for joy Three for a wedding Four for a child Five for sickness Six for death
I know it's probably useless, but I wondered if maybe it could be some kind of clue. God knows the kinds of classics and ancient superstitions The Powers That Be might be using as references. I think I thought that if the total number was a multiple of six, or five... and see, this is where math is not my game. I'll go back to music theory.
Are you going to the party tonight? Will you spare a dance for me?
