We didn't quite manage to chat at length about Persuasion as we had planned, but we definitely shared a few stories for Kate! Original grapes Eily, Jen, Yazmin, and Eileen were back, but a few of Kate's favorite Lowellians also joined us: Tina, Ona, Ned, and Howard! We gave Howard a bit of grief for not having seen us in so long (and we gave him a lot more grief for his freakishly youthful Dorian Gray self).
We shared tales of Mass Hall and Lowell House and freshman expos and sophomore tutorial and water polo and lemon chicken and Howard almost burning down Lowell House (I totally forgot that).
To quote from the assigned reading that we didn't quite get to:
'My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.'
'You are mistaken,' said he gently, 'that is not good company, that is the best.'
