- After a morning's sail out into San Francisco Bay in a fresh breeze
- and myself suitably wrapped up in foulies, I spent part of the afternoon
- watching IMPROMPTU, a film largely about Armandine Aurore Lucie Dupin,
- baronne Dudevant. Better known to most of you, perhaps, as the author
- George Sand. It turned out to my delight to be quite superior entertainment,
- and I recommend it both for a peek at a remarkable person and as a piece
- of pleasant fluff. Quite early on it did occur to me that George Sand
- was very Heather_Hendersonian, and I am looking forward to seeing HH
- dressed up in that very fetching Louis Napoleonic outfit. In any case I
- have marked down GS as an author to read more carefully in 1993. I hope
- that I can do the same with HH in the very near future.
