An adaptation of one of her books - 'The Charioteer', which (for those who don't know) is not as Greek as it sounds: it's her one truly successful (IMO) contemporary novel - into a radio play. Technically. Actually we were talking about all sorts of stuff, the way you do. And it's become an Anecdote, because her last letter apologised profusely for the long delay, only she'd been in bed sick, and she wished that pneumonia was kill-or-cure like it had been in her nursing days rather than dragging on and on for ever, but at least she was feeling better and back at her desk at last - and a couple of hours after the letter arrived, my dad phoned to say that she'd just died.
