drum you out of anywhere for holding that position. She was a miniaturist. Do You know the Elizabethan miniaturist portrait painter Nicholas Hilliard? Her work reminds me of his- sly and yet not unkind, perceptive but not a know it all.

I too like Stegner very much. He summered down the road from where I live- nearly drummed out after publishing some of the novels he set there. I've been meaning to read the Goldfinch, but I think now I'll put it off.

I love EM Forsters novels as well as his essays- particularly the back and forth he did with Bertrand Russell- What I Believe.
