>mariana,
how are you?>
I'm doing fine, thanks, in spite of the fact that my new job is boring me to
death. Thank God I resubscribed to the JMDL from this address! It saves my life
every day. I'm really grateful.
>''carthage'' is pronounced to rhyme with CAR-bridge, with the stress on CAR
and the ''th'' sound as in ''think''.>
Thank you very much. I would have pronounced the "th" as in "taxi" rather than
as in "think", I'm not sure why.
>are you roasting down there in la plata too??????????>
Yes, though not today, thankfully. I thought the heat would kill me yesterday.
As you wrote >it's hot, it's muggy, it's full of bugs.> My mother's got a pool
in her backyard, so that's a nice way out of this hell. Would you like to come
and enjoy a family day with us? I mean it!
>wallyK, a fierce hillaire belloc fan!>
You've won my friendship with this revelation and with your love of Rohmer.
Mariana,
the shy Argentinian
