Nonnons -- A note for A. Bouazza:

Bravo,Abdel! There it is on page 135, big as life. I don't recall which
one of us made this nice translational find, but strongly suspect it was
my father. His kind but piercing gaze follows my every move from my
office wall. I shall try to arrange for a further enlargement of your
amazing portrait to be made for the VN Museum.

With my warm greetings,

Dmitri

"Nonnons" See page 135 of the 1st ed. of INVITATION TO A BEHEADING,
where Cecilia C. describes them.
