RE: Further proof that “where ignorance is bliss ‘tis folly to be wise”.

Ms. Martin,

I was pondering the vagaries of peripatetic DNA in an oncologist’s waiting room on Tuesday when I did see - mirabile dictu! – a dog walking on its hind legs.

The Regis show featured a hound named Spencer who – Honest Injun! – walked on his hind legs. He didn’t seem particularly happy but he certainly wasn’t stressed so I shouted “You go dog!”

He did a few other tricks but how well can you gild a lily?

As a media mogul perhaps you could get copies of this amazing feat. It would be an inspiration to wanabee walking dogs and wanabee women preachers everywhere.

Since you seem not to be “a wretched un-idea’d girl” you, of course, are mindful that “a jest breaks no bones”.

I can’t wait to get to Kipling.
