The easy hours from nine to four
The instinct to write rose in Lilly , the quick flame of her faddism easily aroused . Here was nothing more than a stroke of fate . A long-laid plan for a novel lifted , an entire panorama of resolutions dramatizing themselves . The easy hours from nine to four . Long evenings at work beside the crib . A _ nom de plume _ , of course -- Ann something . Ann Netherland .
