Early’s better than on time, but on time is better than late.
Dear Brain,
I refused to start official work on this book yesterday, because it just seemed inauspicious, but because also because I still didn’t know why Eleanor was working for the Kitterings. Today I woke up and you handed me the answer. So I guess we can, in fact, get started today, and for that, Brain, I thank you.
Now I don’t suppose you have any ideas about that trouble Dead Rick ought to be in . . . ?
Hopefully,
Your Writer
