Mrs Schneiderman looked bewildered. "But Ruby, this is history, you are in class, how can I excuse you without a note?"
"Good point," said Ruby, and she began to scribble something on a piece of Redfort headed notepaper. Then she handed it to Mrs. Schneiderman.

"But that's not what I meant, I mean it wasn't written by your mother."
"Don't worry, Mrs Schneiderman, my mom would give you the big 'OK' if only she was here - look, it has her signature."
Mrs Schneiderman looked at the note, and indeed it did.

My daughter Ruby is to be excused from history if she feels an urgent need to be somewhere else.
Yours faithfully, S Redfort.
P.S. thank you for teaching my daughter about the Jade Buddha of Khotan, lord knows I've tried.

"It's my style Mrs Digby - 'layered' - it's very in vogue."
"Well may I continue to remind you that some magazine folks are coming to photograph this very house tomorrow and if your mother sees it in its 'layered' state, you will be in what's commonly referred to as 'the dog house'."
