Since postings on TT-8 have wound down, let us move ob to TT-9.
I have pondered for years over Mrs. Flankard's _The Stag_. I suspect it
mocks some bestseller of the sixties--presumably a historical romance a la
Kathleen Windsor's _Forever Amber_, a much earlier book though. Ideas?
Also noted is that Armande is wearing black as did the blond woman whose
photoflash betokened the death of HP's father.
The last name of Paul Plam whose artwork provides the cover illustration
of _Figures in a Golden Window_ suggests the Russian word for "flame"
--plamya.
