as i place the two bottles of purple potion in my cabinet right next to my bottles of jacky 's little helper-the powerful concentrations of tincture of opium that have helped me out of many a ticklish situation-my mind returns to last night 's show , and just who was in attendance ... my dear ezra was there , just back from visiting amy at dovecote , and , alas , i am told she has not yet forgiven me , and that does hurt me .
