someone had scratched out "patrick" on the poster announcing the perkins mixer and wrote "paddy." i went downstairs to check out the food: "green savoury" turned out to be lettuces and guacamole, "green sweet" were simply regular cakes and cookies glaced in green, and mint ice-cream (i thought longingly of all the green kuehs at home) so i trotted back upstairs and fell asleep on apollonius.
