L.M. Boston, The Children of Green Knowe, mcmliv -- which is Faber and Faber being precious, not me, I bet they have SPQR embroidered on their underwear. I've been known to give dates in AUC, but never in Roman numerals -- our numbers are just better. 1954.
I love this icon. All of your icons are lovely, in fact. But when I saw this new default one appear earlier in the day (before you made this post) I did that indrawn breath thing that means "oh! so cute!" and then I thought, "h.l so made that." I almost commented then, but I got distracted.
There you have it, just what you've been waiting for: a play-by-play of my reaction to your new icon.
