Then and there I made up my mind to work hard
and acheive, to become great and powerful, to write things that
would ring the Hearts of men--and women, to, of course--and to
come back to them some day, famous and beautiful, and when they
sued for my love, to be kind and hauty, but cold. I felt that I
would always be cold, although gracious.
I decided then to be a writer of plays first, and then
later on to act in them. I would thus be able to say what came
into my head, as it was my own play. Also to arrange the seens
so as to wear a variety of gowns, including evening things. I
spent the rest of the afternoon manacuring my nails in our state
room.
Well, we got there at last. It was a large house, but
everything was to thin about it. The School will understand
this, the same being the condition of the new Freshman
dormitory. The walls were to thin, and so were the floors. The
Doors shivered in the wind, and palpatated if you slamed them.
Also you could hear every Sound everywhere.
I looked around me in dispair. Where, oh where, was I to
find my cherished solatude? Where?
On account of Hannah hating a new place, and considering
the house an insult to the Servants, especialy only one bathroom
for the lot of them, she let me unpack alone, and so far I was
safe.
