Heidi won't be coming to any more bookgroups after last night's fiasco, according to what her cousin told Mark this morning on the allotment. Mark thought her cousin was exaggerating in the retelling, but even if a little bit of it were true it is still bad. Heidi said she will now only do the Talcott Levy sub-group, and only if Ced isn't there, and on the condition that she is not asked to make 16 pies or actually any pies at all, after last night. Meanwhile, Ced has sent Mark a very nice email thanking him for what was possibly the best evening of his life, adding that he enjoyed the pies very much. He may well be genuine, as it is hard to tell with Ced sometimes.
