Do you remember—two or three years ago now, I suppose—trying to find out what a flan was. Q[uery]y Fr[ench]? Eng[lish]? ——? Dictionaries—waiters—all were silent. Well, I found it. Perfectly respectable old English word! "The Flans and the custards had all disappeared". Jackdaw of Rheims. And the next step in the Research?
Looking forward to 17th

 

Yours

 

Aleister
