And they would have kept me there if they could and I myself did not want to go. I was afraid. Oh, how I envied Charles going down to the city and coming back for tea, to read the magazines aloud or play backgammon. I am afraid I was not as nice as I should have been about all that the evenings were certainly dull!" "But what do you feel about it now?" I said.
