y friends make fun of my weakness for the colour of yellow.
I confess that I adore it, notwithstanding that I have good reason to detest it. Truly, human nature is a bundle of contradictions!
I love yellow because of a certain episode in my life which occurred when I was but eight years of age. I love nankeen above all on account of a jacket of that material, which played in that episode an important part.
Ah! that jacket of nankeen!
