My wife and I had an absolutely
delicious meal ca 1964/5 in an
Austrian restaurant on the Toronto
waterfront (diagonally across the
street from the Royal York Hotel); the
entree we'd chosen was larded saddle
of hare, and thus it was possible for
me to object, upon the main course's
presentation, "Waiter, there's a hare
on my plate." I suppose the journal's
printer, if it were the old days,
would have been able to say, "Writer,
there's a Hare under the platen."
