Is this about a minor friend who left her and now she's afraid a very dear friend will leave her? I must admit, the Ear, with its capital letter, seems very odd...Peter Gouldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292063172122249202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078811688087039278.post-9681284056902044702010-09-29T21:48:18.512-04:002010-09-29T21:48:18.512-04:00and perhaps Emily thought modern was a "err&q...and perhaps Emily thought modern was a "err" or error.
