To my surprise, not only did a cheque arrive today, much earlier than I expected, but Tessa and co. went to the trouble and expense of shipping a copy of the magazine to this non-subscriber across the pond. And in The Oldie's pages, the poem appears in much closer to its original formatting than in the email Jayne received, likely as close as could be accomplished given the narrow space. Care was clearly taken.
I and my little poem have been treated royally!
