But I really think, whatever happens, that Dorothy and I had better get
back to New York. So I will see if Mr. Eisman will send us back. I mean
I really do not think that Mr. Eisman will mind us going back because
if he does, I will start shopping again and that always seems to bring
him to terms. But all the time I am going back to New York, I will have
to try to make up my mind one way or another. Because we girls really
can not help it, if we have ideals, and sometimes my mind seems to get
to running on things that are romantic, and I seem to think that maybe
there is some place in the world where there is a gentleman who knows
how to look and act like Count Salm and who has got money besides. And
when a girls mind gets to thinking about such a romantic thing, a girls
mind really does not seem to know whether to marry Henry or not.
CHAPTER SIX
BRAINS ARE REALLY EVERYTHING
June 14th:
Well, Dorothy and I arrived at New York yesterday because Mr. Eisman
finally decided to send us home because he said that all of his button
profession would not stand the strain of educating me much more in
Europe. So we separated from Mr. Eisman in Buda Pest because Mr. Eisman
had to go to Berlin to look up all of his starving relatives in Berlin,
who have done nothing but starve since the War, so he wrote me just
before we sailed and he said that he had dug up all his starving
relatives and he had looked them all over, and decided not to bring
them to America because there was not one of his starving relatives who
could travel on a railroad ticket without paying excess fare for
overweight.
So Dorothy and I took the boat and all the way over on the boat I had
to make up my mind whether I really wanted to marry the famous Henry H.
Spoffard, or not, because he was waiting for me to arrive at New York
and he was so impatient that he could hardly wait for me to arrive at
New York. But I have not wasted all of my time on Henry, even if I do
not marry him, because I have some letters from Henry which would come
in very, very handy if I did not marry Henry. So Dorothy seems to agree
with me quite a lot, because Dorothy says the only thing she could
stand being to Henry, would be to be his widow at the age of 18.
