Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
It's never too late to say "Thank You."Thank you!
What do you think about email and a letter versus just a letter?
Helen feels like the immediacy of an email makes it more obvious that it's late.

FWIW, I have never sent a paper thank you-- only an email. It might be different in nursing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just broke out some high boots with a skirt and had to explain myself.
bon, I know you. All you really need to do is give a look. You have that power.
I only overdress to work (which reminds me, it's probably corset time again--I wonder if the overbust still fits...) since I don't really go anywhere else, but I do still enjoy it. And by overdress I mean sideways. It's not like I'd ever wear a suit.
Ouise, I think late is better than never.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sending a paper thank-you maybe gives plausible deniability that it just took a long time to get there. They were supposed to be deciding "early this week"? An email could both thank them and check in on the timeline, I guess.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Man, I missed that about being in University. We were such obnoxious dressers. We'd team-overdress at the drop of a hat.
Oh, I know. My university used to have a tradition where we dressed up for football games - a stadium full of women in sundresses and men in khakis and ties.
Tradition has largely gone by the wayside since the stupid football coach wanted everyone to wear orange, and gave out orange tshirts. But, now he's gone and we can go back to the way things used to be.

Ouise, is it one of the hospitals in the city? It might get there in the mail overnight.
We'd get together, have sherry before dinner, then go to the dining hall for dinner.
Oh you should have gone to my school. We had a formal meal every wednesday where we had to wear our academic robes. I can't remember if we had a standards for what was worn underneath.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have envy of the overdressers. I've always been too timid in my dress, I know. And too guilty to spend the money to buy truly gorgeous clothing. And I'm too friggin' lazy to be honest.

“Not dead yet!”
My FiL quite admired Jilli's wardrobe, especially after we told him it was her daily style of dress.
