I think we need to consult Tiptoe about any marraige plans. I told her about the Tykerb Tiger and she is looking forward to meeting him. She is excited about a travel companion but says that even in China arranged marraiges are rare these days, and she is an independent kind of girl. Give her a chance to get to know him. who knows , she might meet someone else on her travels. After all, she is going to get her picture made tomorrow at the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, where they have done a huge amount of research into Taxol. She might even meet a nice Southern boy in Georgia. Southern men are just full of charm.
