Summary

It has been a pretty bad week for Giles. His article on Zionism generated a mixed reaction, gaining support from some but rebuke from others. Does hearing Esther’s take on the matter cause him to rethink?

A more domestic problem is Esther’s birthday, or rather her present. For once Giles was well prepared, he’d chosen the perfect gift well ahead of time. He knows where he left it, where it should be, but where is it now?

In the news a men only publishing house has opened, is it needed and if so, why? It prompts Esther to reveal some big news. Finally, Giles is considering taking up DIO… ‘do it oneself.’
