It Started With Eve; But Now PBH Limits Apple Crop

Social-minded PBH has adopted a dubious procedure. Yesterday afternoon it sponsored a tea for Yardlings and budding 'Cliffe Dwellers--but only those whose last names began with A through G were invited. The others were advised not to despair, however, because the H through O contingent will be received tomorrow, and the tail end Zombies will arrive for the reception Friday.

Had this system started with Adam, it would have meant that Antony would have met Cleopatra all right; but Abelard and Heloise would have missed by one letter, and Romeo and Juliet wouldn't have stood by a balcony, much less a chance.
