IN OUR FIRST MAIL delivery in Marseille came a letter from Avis De Voto. In responding to some photos we’d sent of ourselves, she wrote: “I am very pleased with your looks, so warm and vigorous and handsome. I am rather astonished that you are such a big girl. Six feet, whoops. I adore height in women. . . . I think you both look absolutely wonderful.”

Then she addressed our sauce chapter: “I have now got beurre blanc licked to a frazzle and I am getting bilious. Also have put on 5 lb. which on a figure like mine aint good. It looks all right, but I like to be able to wiggle freely in my clothes instead of bursting out the seams. Also I have made yr top secret mayonnaise with great success in spite of the fact that both my electric beaters broke down and I had to shift to the whisk. It’s delicious and lovely and I am pleased. But I do so hate to diet. Blast you.”

We had grown really fond of Avis. Odd, to feel as though you knew someone quite well whom you had never met.
