Isn't it peculiar that those that fear a thunder storm are willing to
drink water again and again, boiled water because it is healthy. All the
water is in cisterns rain water. There are no vegetables that is to say
no peas. There are plenty of beets. I like them so much. So do I melons.
I was so glad that this evening William came and ate some. It would not
go back as if it hadn't been good.
PLEASURES IN SINCERE WISHES
I wish you to enjoy these cigarettes. They are a change from those
others. I understand that you had some very good ones. You are not able
to get these any more. I have tried to get them. They tell me that they
cannot say when they will come. They do not know that about them. We
sleep easily. We are awakened by the same noise. It is so disagreeable.
AN EXHIBITION
I do not quite succeed in making an exhibition. Please place me where
there is air. I like to be free. I like to be sure that the dogs will
not be worried. I don't see how they can avoid crickets. They come in.
They are so bothersome. We must ask Polybe to wish.
THE BOAT
I was so disappointed in the boat. It was larger than the other. It did
not have more accomodation. It made the noise which was disagreeable. I
feel that I would have been willing to say that I liked it very well if
I had not seen it when it was painted. It is well never to deceive me.
THREADNEEDLE STREET
I am going to conquer. I am going to be flourishing. I am going to be
industrious. Please forgive me everything.
PRESENT
This is a ceremonial. When you are bashful you do not think. When a
present is offered you accept it you accept the bracelet worn by the nun
so that it rusted. You do not know what to do with it. You describe its
qualities. It is a pleasure to have it. You will give it. You are
steadily tender. You say the beginning is best. Why do you say
Englishman. You say Englishman because he wished it. Do not hurry.
EVIAN WATER
Evian water is very good. Sometimes I am not sure it is put up by them
at least now when there is a war. I say it is fresh. When I do not like
a bottle I throw it away. I throw the water away.
PINK MELON JOY
My dear what is meat.
I certainly regret visiting.
My dear what does it matter.
Leaning.
Maintaining maintaining checkers.
I left a leaf and I meant it.
Splintering and hams.
I caught a cold.
Bessie
They are dirty.
Not polite.
Not steel.
Not fireless.
Not bewildered.
Not a present.
Why do I give old boats.
Theresa.
Exchange in bicycles.
It happened that in the aggregate and they did not hear then, it
happened in the aggregate that they were alone.
It is funny. When examples are borrowing and little pleasures are
seeking after not exactly a box then comes the time for drilling. Left
left or left. Not up. Really believe me it is sheltered oaks that
matter. It is they who are sighing. It really is.
Not when I hear it.
I go on.
This is not a dear noise. It is so distressing. Why was he angry. Did he
mean to be laughing.
