Yes, I have the New Penguin book, indeed. Fine compilation. And his 'presumably' [which I appreciated your leaving in] is typical, in that he writes in the style I should call 'scholarly-tentative' on matters of interpretation: as in general I always think of your doing in your notes &c which I have always admired; which why I have been somewhat taken aback by your tone of definitive finality here.

Re the milkmaids BTW: one doesn't exactly wash one's face by rolling in the water, does one!? The 'rolling' surely bespeaks more than care of the complexion.
