Anorexia; I can't believe I'm in Gardencourt!
Matilda: And I can't believe I had to get on a plane so you had someone to go with.
Anorexia: Yes, I'm a bit stuck at how to fit in.
Matilda: How stuck?
Anorexia: Like a bee in a jam pot.
Matlida: Sticky.
Anorexia: How are things going with Daddy?
Matilda: Oh, Lord Slimly's been his fly in the ointment again. He's putting in an ammendment
to the Starving Millions Bill to include the starving millionaires. Apparently, they have bills too.
Anorexia: I don't dout it. Think of the black caviar.
Matilda: I'll be in your neck of the woods next month too as Daddy's expected at the White House.
Anorexia: Global peace summit?
Matilda: Or Global war summit. I think the two are pretty much the same.
Anorexia: Yes, they both involve weapons don't they.
Matilda: Daddy's less Conservative than most in his party.
Anorexia: He'd have to be making a pact with Labor.
Matilda: Yes, he's more liberal minded than most in his party.
Anorexia: He can afford to be, being its leader.
Matilda: Boston is such a lovely place...if you look the rite way.
Anorexia: Much like every city I'd say then.
Matilda: I being into James and you being into Plath makes it more so.
Anorexia: Indeed.
Matilda: Sometimes I feel I can feel their spirit here.
Anorexia: Even tho they spent most there time back where we came from.
Matilda: Yes, funny that. We seem to be folowing their paths in reverse.
Anorexia: When most are learning English we're learning American.
Matilda: We're fashionably unfashionable.
Anorexia: I wouldn't say that with you in your leggings. You're more the 'in' girl.
Matilda: Yes, but you're the IT girl, like Sylvia Plath, if only you can stay alive. How's it going
with that?
Anorexia: What? In Plump Avenue? Temptation's everywhere. I think I could die of overeating
if anything. I've never seen people eat so much who are losing weit.
Matilda: Sounds like they've got the secret all worked out.
Anorexia: I know. I envy them.
Matilda: You should know by now. All the great thinkers are American.
Anorexia: Yes, in our world at least.
