Oh dear

The bowl game did not go well. Even the sweet little old lady who lives here was calling for mayhem some time in the first half; alas, it never materialized where it was needed. I dug up yet one more Edith Wharton work, Stories of Old New York, four novellas published in 1929. Plenty of toothsome vigor on every page.

Sorry for the bad results of the game. I suggest a gin & tonic to sooth the pain...or, if that's too much of a warm weather drink, then an Irish coffee.

Wharton truly could incise her characters!
