Has the Fifth Muse resurfaced?

If she has, she has a new passion in her life besides R.

Chinchillas.

Maybe "R" meant "rodent" in all those posts. But rodent-like behaviour was more becoming of M than R, from what I remember.

People used to raise chinchillas in the hopes of making fur coats. But I can't believe in this heat I just said the words "fur coats."

E-man! The fur coat angle occurred to me too!

First, I thought, two are surely not enough for more than a pair of ear muffs, but then, I realized, maybe Musie has a breeding pair!

Or perhaps she's planning to acquire 99 more a la Cruella De Vil!

Chinchillas? How disappointing that would be. More discerning coyotes everywhere hate chinchillas. All that fluff, and barely a decent mouthful...

Yes, Coyote, but what would you say if someone else was prepared to peel them for you?

... and, BlogAdmin, the Orphans' Home photo brought a tear to my eye... memories of my days there.

Of course, I was off in the army in '18, a lad had to make his own way back then. But there were worse places for a motherless child to wind up than Elgin Street.
