The problem with applause is that I can never tell why people are clapping: for my being on stage or for my leaving the stage. I dare not ask, but the question humors me. Nevertheless, I am sure the little girl was not clapping for you to sit down.

In your uxorious readings, did you read Crashaw's "Wishes to his (supposed) mistresses"? Or Kilmer's "Blue Valentine"? The former I love for the wit and craft of Crashaw, and his humor; this latter poem I find to be exceptionally beautiful, and one of his best.

Congratulations on your reading,
Patrick
