We are so joyous with the return of our Mary Beaton. Mary tells me I must not blame Puff and I guess I don’t, but something has changed in my feelings for the little dog, I am sorry to admit. I think Mary Beaton senses this and in some way so does Puff. She seems to pull toward Mary Beaton like a heavenly sphere toward a sun, just the way Lord Erskine described the theories of Copernicus and his belief of how the planets circle the sun.
