Christmas Eve and maybe old Santa will fill it with an honest-to-goodness man she can call her own. Of course, she may have one by the time you read this, because she was leaving for Rome alone, without Mama Pierangeli, shortly after our talk. And it’s my belief that Pier’s man shortage stems from Mama’s over-supervision.

Santa should toss in. a spare black eyepatch and Rubirosa.
