Very much appreciated this post (http://eegatland.livejournal.com/32196.html)from http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif (http://eegatland.livejournal.com/profile)eegatland (http://eegatland.livejournal.com/), a.k.a. Elizabeth Wein (author of beloved The Winter Prince & its magnificent relations) - particularly pungent as D&I met all sorts of people around the pool on Sanibel who wanted to know what we wrote - and then, well . . . .
We got back to NYC around midnight last night, put down the luggage in the front hall, and noticed a hideous loud buzzing that seemed to be coming from inside the wall. It was too late to do anything about it; we figured if it was still going on in the morning, we'd call the super.
Twenty minutes later, I heard her cry of "Toothbrush!" ( -What?! - Toothbrush!) and the noise mysteriously stopped.
Our portable battery-operated electric toothbrush had turned itself on when we set the bags down. Why we were sure it was coming from the wall is another question for another day.
