X-No-Archive: yes
Yo my bro' in panic!
Sorry, my reply being so much in delay...
Life is very short, and there's no time for fuzzing and fighting(?), my
friend.
- but -
Time is on my side. Yes it is!
Do I need a machine for that? Maybe a clockwork or....

I just posted the scans of the previously mentioned Nabokovian fairy
tales. It's a pity the old scans are so lousy in quality. I'm in deep
doubt you could find the book anymore, but if you can, you might do a
favour to all true amateurs of the art by making a better scanning of
the pictorials with the state of art technology now available.
The notes bequethed along the posting give the available information
about the persons involved, as told on the pages. Whether it's true or
false, is hard to tell.

I'm quite assured, however, that Sutton is not the homestead of miss F.
we were discussing earlier about. She has most likely never heard of
such a place.
If a German mag locates her to France, I would take that as more credible.
Imagine this (you're supposed to be a British editor!):
the name...) to make her more like a nextdoor girl. Eh.. let her be
"Frances Voy", sounds similar enough...
How the Japanese publishers figure out the state of the world, I cannot
even imagine.
Oh, I included also an odd posting of miss F. as 'frvo_###'. I have no
idea where those pics are coming from; I downloaded them in 2004 from
some newsgroup. The colours hint towards 'Club' some 25-30 years ago.
Best wishes.

P.S.
To my grand chagrain I read the news of the sudden exit of Chris
Nikolson. Humanity has lost a great artist.
Keeping up this newsgroup with his art, and others', we might induce
younger artists of his quality to come up, somewhere, sometime. Let's hope.
Yes, I have consumed a large cognac, or two, in memory of C. N., and
also to celebrate the decennial. Happy Birthday to you, too.
