By the way, I understand "When I'd just turned eleven" to mean that it was

Dear Mary,

I am unable to find any confirmation of your claim. Reference, please? Muscat
grapes refer to the muscatel variety, and only that so far as I am able to
discover on my own.

btw, although edible and even medicinal the fruit of the g. biloba can be
poisonous if over-indulged in (apparently it happens that children do get drunk
on the stuff)
