Talking about being stranded, you will be amused to know that poor Bob is actually stranded in his Pacific Ocean Paradise and that from what I understand he will have several weeks or months, more vacation, as before progressing Eastward he will have to fall back West and get to New Zealand or Australia, in order to get an American boat. I must say these are at least amusing side-lines of the drama.

As regards fate, Lewis Tim was killed yesterday in a motor accident.

I would love to be able to tell you some funny stories, but I have never been a Courteline and I fear that I have less and less capacity for plagiarism along those lines, but if you are in Bordeaux or Arcachon, as it seems you told me once was your mobilization center, you are having after all a very pleasant completion of your vacation and able to enjoy the world's best wines - so that most probably you don't need any cheering-up, but I shall say "good luck to you" anyway.
