Anyway, on that cruise, she happened to meet an Oxford don - as she insisted on calling him - a lovely, dapper man from Oxford, who sent me this advice about finishing my dissertation:
It's not as hard as you think.I can't tell you the comfort I derived from those words.
I don't know this man, but I salute him. And I give fair warning: If I ever meet you, I will kiss you!

Those are the seven loveliest words in the English language.
Aren't they? I can't tell you how much they helped. I kept coming back to them. Over - and over - again.
I bequeath them to you, m'dear! (Although I'll still need them through the viva voce. . . .)
