To make sure of my meaning I have read my letter through once more, and find that it does not express all I wanted to say. Never mind, it is true in the main. Only try to understand that I do not wish to sit in judgment upon you, only to throw some light on the situation. With all kind thoughts. Yours, ELSIE LINDTNER. It snows, and snows without ceasing.
If this woman's work had been imagined and created by a man, no doubt he would have been accused of having lost sight of women's repugnance to speak or write of their physical inferiority, or even to dwell upon it in thought. Yet the name Karin Michaëlis is no pseudonym; the writer really is of the same sex as her heroine Elsie Lindtner.
Notwithstanding that she has the eye of the doctor and the psychologist, Elsie Lindtner, the heroine, has also the nerves and sensibility of a woman.
Not that you would find things in actual disorder; but all the same there would be a kind of semi-order. I do not at all fancy the idea of Richard routing among my papers now that we are no longer a married couple. With every good wish, Your cousin, ELSIE LINDTNER. Is there not a good deal of style about that form of address?
Very white indeed!... Read the intimate journal of Elsie Lindtner, written precisely by the side of one of these fresh Northern lakes. Possibly at eighteen Elsie Lindtner may have played at "Epiphanies" and filled "the pensive guardian of the mystic orange tree" with admiration.
I shut the door of my "White Villa" and there my story ends. Your ELSIE LINDTNER. Reading through my letter, it seems to me cold and dry. But it is harder to write such a letter to a dear friend than to a stranger. The first day is over. Heaven help me through those to come!
At the same time a cruel melancholia possesses her; she feels she has become old without having profited by her youth. Not that she descends to the coarse and libertine regrets of "grand'mère" in Béranger's song, "Ah! que je regrette!" Elsie Lindtner declares more than once that if she had to start life over again she would be just as irreproachable.
With kind greetings, Yours sincerely, ELSIE LINDTNER. P.S. I would rather not answer your personal attacks. I could not have acted differently and I regret nothing. To-morrow morning I will get rid of that gardener without fail. An extra month's wages and money for his journey whatever is necessary so long as he goes.
Elsie Lindtner, do you realise that in the same year, the same month, you have offered yourself to two men in succession and both have declined the honour? Luckily there is no one else to whom you can abase yourself. One of these days, depend upon it, Richard will eat his heart out with regret. But then it will be too late, my dear man, too late!
