I opened Mr. It began: "It is very difficult to free the mind from excitement on the evening before a grand expedition "
Perhaps the adventures of the mountain-climbing hero of the Midi, combined with his previous exploits as a slayer of lions his experiences as a colonist in Port-Tarascon need scarcely be considered will prove, in the lapse of years, to be the most solid foundation of that fame which even envious Time will hardly begrudge Daudet.
But you must have hope, and you must have faith, You must love and be strong and so, If you work, if you wait, you will find the place Where the four-leaf clovers grow."

Because I'm not got up for a garden-party, it doesn't follow I must be dressed for mountain-climbing. Cecil hates sensible-looking clothes. 'Then I should think anything you've got would do. Or do you want to get a new dress? 'Of course I want to get a new dress, but not for this afternoon. It wouldn't be possible.
