This book is dedicated to ELIZABETH TUCK and EMILY TUCK .

More than mere witnesses to the years of work that went into it,
they endured with great patience my long answers to the innocent question,
How is it going? They also endured endless questions from me about images, adverbs,
and grammar in general. Emily read much of the book in manuscript
prior to publication, an act of pietas if ever there was one.
