I was reading BB to LS #1, and it hit me how similar her letter is to LS to BB #2 Look:
BB to LS #1: Dear, Sir, I have no way of knowing if this letter will reach you, as the distance is so very far and so very troublesome. This small piece of stationary must cross mountains and cafeterias, in the trunks of automobiles and in waterproof pockets of long-distance swimmers--
Now look at LS to BB #2: I would love to spend time with a certain "baticeer" . No matter where we are--far away in the mountains or downstairs in the cafeteria, swimming in the ocean or hiding in an automobile---
And then in the Cards:
LS to BB #1: I am sorry I embarrassed you in front of your friends. I only wanted to talk to you. (skip forward)-- I will be the eleven year old boy--
In BB to LS #6: I am sorry I embarrassed you in front of your friends. I only wanted to talk to you. (skip forward)--I'm the ten year old girl--
So what do you think? How could the young BB see Lemony's friends anyway?

You should consult Antenora's TBL Chart, which contains several more parallels. The idea of parallels between separate groups of characters, or historical events repeating in altered form among different people, or a general resemblance between past and present or here and there, is thematically important to ASoUE because it's about how learning from the past or from the world can help you to make sense of your life. TBL uses even more than usual as part of its similarly mirrored structure - so, for instance, Lemony's letter sequence starts with a calling card, and Beatrice's ends with one. The use of repeating phrases is meant to help you observe other parallels in their lives and letters.

I like her chart! Still, having the same sentences is so odd.
