So, it's midnight in Nova Scotia, and I'm reading the last instalments of my students' journals for the term.  As usual, I am by turns delighted and dismayed at what they have "got" and what has missed them altogether.  

I turn one more page, and think -- I have to tell Betsy about this -- and while I'm at it, why not tell all of CASLL?

So here's my student's addendum, unedited.
***

The End

Some people spend chunks of money on things that don't always last long.  Little chunks, yes, but chunks nonetheless.  People buy shoes for sixty dollars -- twice that even. (I myself am frugal in the shoe department.)

This book (conversations) is my pair of sixty dollar shoes.

I'll have it until I wear holes in it, or until I grow out of it.

(But I know my feet stopped growing years ago.)

Thanks, Betsy.
