But that was it. Jenny was very tired. She had to return to her room, and lie down, and then she was taken back to the hospital. I visited her there the next day and read a story to her and her similarly paralyzed friend Kathy. Next day I returned to Florida, with a red artificial rose from Jenny's corsage. I still have that rose.

So that's an update, taking Jenny through 1989. How far she will progress hereafter we do not know. But she has now met the public, and many Xanth fans have met her. My experience with "Ligeia," the suicidal girl some years back, tells me that some readers will want to write to Jenny. I will give you the address, with this caution: Don't expect Jenny to write back. She can't hold a pen well enough to write, and they are still figuring out how to hook up a computer that she might direct by head motions. In fact, she won't actually read letters, because she can't hold them up to see; her folks will read them to her. So don't say anything really private. You can write to her in care of Jenny Elf, P.O. Box 8152, Hampton, Virginia 236668152.
