Unfortunately, tollbaby did not say what sort of avaricious person she
is .

Fortunately, tollbaby did let us find out what sort of avaricious person she is, the sort that would keep just for herself (how inordinately avaricious) the unmitigated bliss that comes from
cleaning up and cataloging an entire
house-full of books.

Unfortunately, nobody's willing to give me a houseful of books to catalog/play with/fondle.... *sigh* (although I'll admit to having a houseful of my own ROFL)

Fortunately I don't have to catalogue Tollbaby's books as well as the books in our house and in the church library.

Fortunately her books are too far away to be of concern to me (although my daughter is trying to inveigle us to move to her area).

Fortunately, Moonspring did understand, and understanding the male mind as well as she does, chose to ignore the emphasis.

Unfortunately, just because we understand the male mind doesn't mean we agree with with the male mind.

Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land
To which I go
