Hahahaha, thank you, you are so kind. I think, though, that Oscar Wilde would be too busy for me. At least at first. At least until I am friends with Ada Leverson.

Yes? Because by then hopefully I’ll be her friend? I think it will totally work! She was quite quite loyal. I love her.

Did I already? My old roommate! Darling darling old roommate. How I wish she would come back to America and live with me in a lovely New York apartment.

Hahahaha, I’ll just tactfully avoid the people whose books I hated. That’ll be easy. Heaven will be crowded.

Oh, the pre-Raphaelites. I bet they would be an interesting crowd. You know what would be really fun, hang out with the pre-Raphaelites, and then come to one of my dinner parties with Ada Leverson and listen to her say bitchy things about them. I know she would be brilliant to talk to about them. 🙂

Heaven must have internet. I hope heaven has internet. If heaven doesn’t have internet, Ada Leverson won’t know in advance of my arrival that I love her. And that would be sad for me.

I feel like not much is out there about Ada Leverson — not because people didn’t talk about her, but because she seems like a very private person. But what I do know about her, I like, particularly how good she was to Oscar Wilde. Bless her.

You’re so sweet! Thank you. 🙂

I hope you like it! But I’m not sorry I bought the Housing Works copy. You wouldn’t have been able to take it back to England anyway. However, I will invite you to our dinner parties in heaven. Promise.
