"It was not long after that that everybody was twenty-six. It became the period of being twenty-six. During the next two or three years all the young men were twenty-six years old. It was the right age apparently for that time and place. There were one or two under twenty...but they did not count as Gertrude Stein carefully explained to them."

Oh Gertrude, you crazy fascist lesbian salon-running genius. (I guess I have four months to go.)
I found Battersea Park's best reading bench. All the ducks agree.

He's reading and she's talking to the ducks (quack quack). He's reading and she running over. She's running over and she's running over and she's running over and she's running with the ducks (waddle waddle webbed feet). She's running over and she's plopping down on the bench.
Just duckie.
A duck quacks. She hurmphs. She plops down and she draws up her legs. Her legs are up and she turns. She lays down on the bench. He reads and she lays down her legs on the bench. Her legs lay. She lays and her legs lay and her head lays in his lap. You are worse than my cat, he says. A pussy cats purrs. She purrs and says she's also a whole lot better. He's lifts his book but she rests her head and so he rests his book like she rests on her head. Better to read my book with you mean. A person hurmphs. Meanie. He moves his book now now she is shaded, don't have a cow. Do. Cows do moo. I do have a cow with you.
