Dear Katharine: It's been too long since our last meeting, though it was good to see you then and how quickly the afternoon passed. You were indeed a generous host; the ginger tea cakes you made were divine and the orange pekoe tea was a delightful treat. However, I as we were dining and coming up to speed with the current events in each other's lives, I could not shake the feeling that you were haunted by an unshakeable sadness. There was a profound and apparent melancholy which pervaded your actions and made it difficult for you to make eye contact with me. You spoke in a monotone fashion and often stared straight down into your teacup. You sighed frequently. I don't even think you were aware of doing it.

It also wasn't your fault; you weren't even there. In fact, had you been there the tragedy still might have occurred, so you really should be grateful that you spared the experience. But Katharine, this isn't what I mean to say. Dearest Katharine, what concerns me even more than your apparent guilt over this death is the fact that you appear to be obsessed with death. Friends have told me that you've been plagued by nightmares where you envision relatives and dear contacts being consumed by raging fires or in floods. Your parents
