So far everything has really worked out for the best. Because Mr.
Eisman is very very busy all day with the button profession, and he
tells me to run around with Dorothy all day. So I and Mr. Spoffard run
around all day. So then I tell Mr. Spoffard that I really do not care
to go to all of the places that you go to at night, but I will go to
bed and get ready for tomorrow instead. So then Dorothy and I go to
dinner with Mr. Eisman and then we go to a show, and we stay up quite
late at a cabaret called the Chapeau Rouge and I am able to keep it all
up with the aid of champagne. So if we keep our eye out for Mr.
Spoffard and do not all bump into one another when he is out looking at
things that we Americans really should not look at, it will all work
out for the best. I mean I have even stopped Mr. Spoffard looking at
museums because I tell him that I like nature better, and when you look
at nature you look at it in a horse and buggy in the park and it is
much easier on the feet. So now he is beginning to talk about how he
would like me to meet his mother, so everything really seems for the
best after all.
But I have quite a hard time with Mr. Eisman at night. I mean at night
Mr. Eisman is in quite a state, because every time he makes an
engagement about the button factory, it is time for all the gentlemen
in Vienna to go to the coffee house and sit. Or else every time he
makes an engagement about the button factory, some Viennese gentleman
gets the idea to have a picknick and they all put on short pants and
bare knees and they all put a feather in their hat, and they all walk
to the Tyrol. So it really discouradges Mr. Eisman quite a lot. But if
anyone ought to get discouradged I think that I ought to get
discouradged because after all when a girl has had no sleep for a week
a girl can not help it if she seems to get discouradged.
