...feature is conspicuously absent in this page of photographs: the glass flowers. Certainly they are the best-known aspect of the Museum. But also, they are one of the less vivid and appealing aspects. Down the hall, up stairs and downstairs from them lie the other museum.

She has made Shem the Penman spokesman for her piece, and although his antithetical brother Shaun is absent as an explicit character, he does appear in his incarnations of Ondt and Jaunty Jan during the H.
