Last time this topic came up (approximately December, 1983), I remember that Lady Arwen didn't like to be called "gal" because it sounded too much like "buffalo gal". She also threatened to bite anyone who called her "gal". She even preferred "girl", but of course she's older now... I wonder if her chocolate chip cookie recipe has been perfected yet? -- --John R.
