I Can Take A Hint

Who was that girl in my dream last night? It was a garden party. And there were millionaires in the mix. How many do you think? Look, there's Mark Rylance; he's the girl's father, apparently- and certainly she has his eyes- friendly, crinkly, kindly. Is he a millionaire? Must be. You don't make movies for Spielberg and get off scot free. She has a thing about Harry Potter but is still child enough not to have read the bigger later tomes. She has one in in her hands. It's my copy of...ah, now what's the title exactly?

Only after I wake do I realise who she is. I've dreamed of her before. Then as now there was something "Empire" about her self-presentation. The name's not Rylance but it does begin with an "R". It's Rostov. The very big book was another clue.

She's Natasha, my very first love...

I must re-read War and Peace.
