offensively difficult with all four of us. In the first place, Lazarus has no

unaware, or at least uncaring, that I and both my daughters use a two-level mode
of meditation. Hazel, I kept my temper. Truly I did, dear. You would have been

could possibly harm his fancy table if this kitten happened to pee on it."
