Joan Dear: Mrs, tod This left York week-end. Kymbal went to New to be gone for the Eric and me without a bar- rier between us. It was our evening. I tried an experiment, Joanie. I was tired of wrestling with problems. 1 longed for one quiet evening in calm companionship, without emotional stress, or sentiment, or even talk. I wanted to relax and to have him do the same. It would be, 1 fancied, a test of myself and of him.
