Besides, I had really given all I had to give
there.
Indeed you shall know, to the smallest detail, just how the material
side of my life is arranged,--all my comforts and discomforts,--since
you ask.
I am now absolutely settled into my little "hole" in the country, as you
call it. It has been so easy. I have been here now nearly three weeks.
Everything is in perfect order. You would be amazed if you could see
just how everything fell into place. The furniture has behaved itself
beautifully. There are days when I wonder if either I or it ever lived
anywhere else. The shabby old furniture with which you were long so
familiar just slipped right into place. I had not a stick too little,
and could not have placed another piece. I call that "bull luck."
I have always told you--you have not always agreed--that France was the
easiest place in the world to live in, and the love of a land in which
to be a pauper. That is why it suits me.
Don't harp on that word "alone." I know I am living alone, in a house
that has four outside doors into the bargain. But you know I am not one
of the "afraid" kind. I am not boasting.
