Meeting a friend for tea, Lanpher feels her depression "slink in like
a pair of silent gray hounds... their silky limbs making not a rustle
as they fold themselves at my feet. I go home early. The dogs get up
and follow me."
-- Katherine Lanpher. Leap Days (2006). Quoted in book review
by Eve Conant, New York Times Book Review December 10, 2006. p 34.
