A few days later he got an admiring letter from her asking for his photograph, and signed, after her name, "(Horseface)". Dickens was touched by her humorous modesty and sent off a picture autographed, "To Horseface, with best wishes, Geoffrey Dickens." Some time later his secretary asked him, "Did you get that letter from the woman at the fair? I wrote 'Horseface' after her name so you'd know which one she was." -- Dan Barrett - Systems Administrator, Computer Science Department The Johns Hopkins University, 34th and Charles Sts., Baltimore, MD 21218 -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
