Some time ago, before Eve was so ill, I asked her if there was some kind of memorial that she might like. She told me that she liked the idea of a bench in a pretty spot, where friends could sit and enjoy the view. Recently I made a donation to Madison Square Park, which is at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street and is the prettiest little park that I know of here in the city. In return, they have now put up a plaque for Eve on a bench that I selected there. Many years ago Eve had told me a quote from Chaucer that she would like to use as an epitaph, and it is on the plaque. — Hal
