Nory will disappoint the prurient. Baker has set aside his facility for high porn to convey affectionately the budding world of a nine-year-old girl. Eleanor ("Nory") Winslow is an American spending part of a year in an English village with her parents and younger brother. Mom teaches them "to be honest and not to hurt people's feelings."

Dartboard has little prurient interest, but the pink dish has been sitting smugly in the dining hall, remaining full for nearly an extra two weeks now. Appropriate though it was in the week leading up to Valentine's Day, that scourge of many a Harvardian, the flowerpot has now begun to point a mocking finger...
