Our story tonight is called The Valentine in the Drawer, Part Two, and while it is connected to ?Part One?, it is actually set long before the bit we heard last week. This is actually our first ever historical Nothing Much Story, something I had much too much fun with. If you manage to hear any of it, which I doubt, as you are already very sleepy, you?ll notice it is full of village easter eggs and familiar locations. It?s a story about a cold February morning, made bright and warm by an envelope slipped into a mailbox. It?s also about fogged up windows on a streetcar, a kettle about to whistle, red roses and marbles, galoshes stepped into with haste, and a small drawer in a desk filled with love notes.
