How to Be a Wild, Wise, and Witty Woman - Loretta LaRoche

my favorite Dorothy Parker:

" I like to have a drink or two,

Three at the very most,

Four and I'm under the table,

Five and I'm under the host . "

With Malice Towards Some - Margaret Halsey ( 1938) One of my favorites .... A professor's wife recounts her impressions on her first trip abroad, at the time of her husband's exchange professorship with a staff member of a Devonshire college. She is all eyes for new sights and this is a readable, entertaining account of places, people, and life around her. Through the pages of her diary the reader shares her experiences:- the house they rent, the neighbors' gossip, teas, dinners, difficulties in adapting herself to what is expected of her, her husband's dry humor and flawless behavior, amusing commentary, honest likes and dislikes, all with skilled and original (sometimes overly so) turn of phrase.

Her last book; she died in 2020. I'm sorry to see her go; I enjoyed her annual romp on S.C. islands.
