Do you think Dorothy Parker ever curtsied? There is a feminist layer here too, I'm sure you noticed. Thanks so much.

Gary, your comment is so appropriate. When I first wrote the line, I used the word "bow" instead of "curtsy". Thinking about it more, I went to curtsy for many reasons. Feminine reasons and royal reasons top the list because content is king.
