Dear Mr. O'Brien,
I've read some of your book and although I like the idea, I don't think I can do anything with it. Thanks for thinking of me and I wish you luck in finding someone to represent your work.
Regards,

Yeah, whatever. Meantime, because I hadn't heard from Agentress Extraordinairess from across The Pond since March, I uncharacteristically pestered her. She responded this way:
Thanks for checking in Dan and sorry I need more time!
Appreciate your patience.
Best
Lady Elizabeth
Phew. That's practically a love letter, don't you think? Unless I'm mistaken, I think she's into me.
