Over a year on, I'm dismayed to hear of Adam's untimely passing. We only met once, so that he could pass on to me - with mixed feelings, maybe - the guardianship of one "Arabella", which I had previously examined twice in his absence abroad, courtesy of Larry. Two years on, it occurred to me that he might like to renew her aquaintance (and perhaps ours, too). Sorry, Adam, I left it too late, but will do my best to look after your and Claire's baby.
