Dear Bill,
Ah! Someone else who knows Firbank! This list never ceases to delight
me with its eclectic range of interests.
This student is extremely earnest and could use a big dose of Firbank's
irreverence. Alas, it's unlikely he'd connect with "Flower Beneath the
Foot" or "Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli."

Cheers,
Carlo
