First Publication

[porphyry]

Last night Madeline came home only a few minutes before bedtime. Nevertheless, she threw herself into creating an entire book. At first she had me help her with the spelling, but then conceded that it would have to be dictated, and Mme. Malkhos and I both wrote part. She insisted on stapling it, albeit on the wrong side (perhaps he's been reading too much Hebrew), since real books are bound. The yellow strip along this binding indicates its a Little Golden Book.

Right. He wouldn't have to worry about hypothermia or anything like you or I would. He was merely exhausted but not close to death or anything. If he'd been on the beach it would have been much less certain for him. :)
