"there is here wherewithal to kill a man more sure than if we waited at the corner of a wood to assassinate him! I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper, than of a sword or pistol."

Love the fountain pen and ink literary references. Count of Monte Cristo, ch 4.

Today is my son’s birthday. I decided I deserved a happy I-gave-birth birthday gift to me. Just ordered from Tom’s Studio a Lumos Pro that will accompany my fountain pen collection. Will obsessively track it across the pond to Canadaland. ✍️
