Have you ever heard of a cat named Hamilcar?
why, no! i hadn't made Hamilcar's acquaintance. but having done so now, here are some edifying links*:
Hamilcar in Carthaginian history
Hamilcar the Cat, sleeping in the sun somewhere right now
Bio of Anatole France, whose cat was named Hamilcar and who named the cat in The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard Hamilcar
free copy of Penguin Island by Anatole France, which I bought years ago in an illustrated edition and still haven't ever read
Chapter I of The Tiger in the House , a must-read for cat lovers, which features a brief mention of Hamilcar.
My own crude, rule-bending anagram of Hamilcar,in a riddle for you: What is one of the eeriest aftereffects of a plane crash?
(hint: you have to double the a, thereby leaving the closed system of anagram rules.
would you say this had been worth doing?
now, i have some dishes to do. they are sitting in my bathtub.
(great thing about being Anonymous, one of many great things, is that you are one of many, so i can't even call you Mr. Blank.
what a great name, though.
* truth in practice: i yahooed this time
hey! no you don't! have to double the a, that is.
i am smarter than i think i am.
if Godel didn't say that, he should have.

I guess it would be charmail. You're right. Requisite number of "a"'s (? "a's") present. Darned devil's in the details.
You do seem to have a surfeit of anonymice.
Good luck with the kitchen. Blue Mercury looks nice, but not so good for furnishings, no? Yes?
Ahh, Sylvestre Bonnard. A pleasant read for the bibliophile.
Try to get a Bodley Head demy octavo edition: exquisitely printed and bound.
Avoid the crown octavo (gross!).
I believe there is a Bodley Head edition illustrated by Frank C. Papé as well, though I haven't seen it.
Regards.
by the time one gets to blue mercury, it is presumed, one is no longer in need of furnishings, but rather of replenishings.
