When They're Gone, They're Gone
In reference to my story in which I talked about my father's picture book about animal reproductive techniques, a book written by Mr. Robert A. Wallace, John Barnstead immediately fired back with the following response from Pernicious, his cat.

Eliot... "Mr. Eliot had conceived a fondness for J. R. R. Tolkien (under the influence of a *very* good review given the Lord of the Rings by W. H. Auden) and had become something of a collector of all the various clandestinely-manufactured children's merchandise that Tolkien fought against so avidly during his lifetime. He had everything: little Hobbit Chinese checker sets, a Galadriel's mirror made out of pink plastic with its own 'My Little Pony' (tm) for Samwise... chewing gum... even playing cards... Purr-haps if the franchising that is so ubiquitous nowadays had been practiced more widely back then, my tragic loss could have been avoided... but when we settled down to play, I said 'give me an orc kid deck, Tommy' -- and he *misconstrued* me..."
