“I could read his prose on salary, but not Jane’s. Jane is entirely impossible. It seems a great pity that they allowed her to die a natural death.

You did great the 1st couple weeks so I know you can step it back up & you’re still ahead of the game because everyone else starts their New Years resolutions next week.

xHAHA. oK, that is hysterical. I actually love Jane, but certainly Mark Twain had a way with words…and bones.
