Agatha Fluttersby

Gone before the encore.

Borna tepid day in 1960, probably

Causewas undone by a "final answer" that was, emphatically, not final
Survived byA very territorial backyard squirrel

With their browser tabs still open and unresolved, we announce the passing of Agatha Fluttersby, aged 65. Friends describe them as "loud," "unforgettable," and "always five minutes late". They are survived by a car that never quite passed inspection.
