Brown is probably my least favorite color, closely followed by grey. I know there are countless beautiful shades of each but still, like James Taylor, deep greens and blues are the colors I (mostly) choose.

Now I understand why the beautiful Irene of Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga was described as having hair the color of feuille morte--dead leaf. It puzzled me when I first read it sixty years ago, but now I think I understand.
In checking my facts, I was delighted to discover that the Saga is online free. Check it out HERE
