Mary Datchet and autumn leaves...<br>
<br>
‘No one could have guessed, from the look of her, that she was disturbed at all. A pleasanter and saner woman than Mary Datchet was never seen within a committee-room. She seemed a compound of the autumn leaves and the winter sunshine...’<br>
<br>
Happy Birthday Virginia<br>

<p>I come down on the side of those of us who are delighted to see VW in a doodle that will be seen, even if for a few seconds, by millions of people. As for the doodle itself, I like the color of the leaves and Virginia's blouse. It's subtle and haunting
as a shade. Like Diana Swanson, I also thought about <i>The Years</i>, especially one introduction to an autumn when leaves were being violently blown about by heavy winds.</p>
