Lovecraft’s friend Petra agreed to look after the bookstore for a couple of months and did so with pleasure; Lovecraft had been right that she needed a job. She also saw them off from Ulysses Airport for the long flight to Alaska, consistently referring to Carter as “your friend Dan” with a significant look.
