I was a decent-looking boy six years ago---now I am a bald, gross, heavy, weary-looking man."

But perhaps he has tales of first-hand encounters...

Firstly: You have a webmaster who shadows you and offers you consolation cookies? Is he your own personal Gremlin?

Secondly: That Librarian is a Golem.

Thirdly: Cat care is not unlike Gremlin maintenance?

Fourthly: I think that Phillipe is the Librarian’s alter-ego. And, why is the library Green?

Finally: What is it about the Musin-Pushkins? Are you exploring their art/antiquities collections?

I love this: It has come to our notice that Gremlins are in the habit of creeping in beside air-gunners in a confiding and ingratiating manner which the simple-minded air-gunner finds hard to resist.

Ever amused and impressed, LK
