Emter, hearing her name mentioned, looks at Walker with a twinkle in
her eye. "Good for you -- academ is the way to go. (Explanatory note
-- around here, academs are the liberal arts majors, while SE's are
science and engineering majors. Needless to say, there's a huge rivalry
there.) And the mainfraim isn't so bad. I manage. *grin*"

Looking a little more serious and sad, Emter says quietly, "I'm so
sorry, my friend. I wish I could help. I'm always here to listen, though."

"I know I'm probably the fifth one to post this, but I'm behind on my
posts:
  Are you going to Scarborough Faire
  Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
  Remember me to one who lives there
  She once was a true love of mine

  Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
  Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
  Without a seam, or fine needlework
  Then she'll be a true love of mine

  Love imposes impossible tasks
  Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
  Though not more than any heart asks
  One to be a true love of mine

This isn't exactly the Simon and Garfunkle version, but it's the only
one I know."
