Page 23, 5th sentence: It may have been known that Blanche was lonely, but having never known company other than her mother's, she did not notice it.
Page 67, 3rd line from bottom: velvet, soft and smooth, but not effeminate. It's too
Velvet takes me to velveteen, which takes me to the Velveteen Rabbit.
There's a blog called the Velveteen Rabbi too, by someone who insists she is actually not a rabbi!
People are breeding actual velveteen lops, though of course as they are alive (I can't say real after just re-reading the original children's story).
There are anime lyrics for a song called Velveteen, and Lenny Kravitz lyrics also.
There are study ideas, a musical, a selection of e-cards, velveteen fabric care and a strange account of being a Velveteen Mother.
I leave you with a recipe for Black Velveteen.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz Stout
- 4 oz Hard Cider
Mmmm mebbe.

Garsh - guinness and champagne!! If you're going to have any amount of it, you'd run out of money quickly enough with having to match champagne to guinness part for part!!
Glad you liked the musings :)
