Dear James Twiggs and the Nabokov List,

It has been fun, but I think I have really said all I have to say
about Pale Fire. I wish to retire - - at least in so far as Pale Fire
is concerned.
I never heard Gertrude Stein's famous remark, so I think the time has
come to start hiding my ignorance under a bushel.

Carolyn

p.s. I can be reached privately and continue to be willing to answer
specific questions.
