For instance, I dreamt the other night that I went to see a high ecclesiastical dignitary, whom I have known for many years, whom I knew in my dream to have been undergoing a rest-cure, though the person in question has never to my knowledge undergone any such experience.
"Right!" he said. "So far as I am concerned, you shall be Mr. Andrew, fisherman. Will you also kindly remember that if any curiosity is evinced as to my identity, I am Mr. Berners, and that I am here for a rest-cure. By the by, how are you going to explain that elderly domestic of yours?" "He is your servant, of course," Andrew answered. "He understands the position. I have spoken to him already.
He remained always perfectly motionless in his arm-chair, but he had abandoned the attempt to discipline his mind. He knew that to-day his brain would not repose with his limbs, and he no longer desired his usual rest-cure. He preferred to think about Mrs. Chepstow. She had made upon him a powerful impression.
"If you really want to attempt anything in the shape of a rest-cure, I can recommend my home thoroughly. I am afraid," he added, with a shrug of the shoulders, "that I cannot recommend it for anything else." "A rest," the Princess declared, "is exactly what we want. Life here is becoming altogether too strenuous. We started the season a little early.
"Where are you going for your rest-cure?" "Isn't that for you to decide, Clifford dear?" Rivière roused himself with an effort akin to that of Ulysses in the house of Circe. "I'd better be quite frank with you," he answered. "I can't live with you again as man and wife." "I realise your feeling so well. I admire you for it. It brings us nearer together.
If the girls had a merry luncheon party invited, that was the very day Aunt Adelaide chose for a special rest-cure treatment, and demanded that the whole house be kept quiet as a church. On the other hand, if the girls were going off for the day, that was the occasion Aunt Adelaide felt lonesome, and declared herself cruelly neglected to be left at home alone.
So he kicked off in wind and wet and mud, wondering quite sincerely why the bubbling ditches and sucking pastures held him from day to day, or what so-lace he could find on off days in chasing grooms and brick-layers round outhouses. To make sure he up-rooted himself one week-end of heavy mid-winter rain, and re-entered his lost world in the character of Galahad fresh from a rest-cure.
Half an hour later he was roused by a lively tattoo beaten on the panels by two sets of vigorous knuckles. "Inside there, Whittington!" exhorted Lane's voice. "Wake up! This isn't any rest-cure. The Stonington boat starts in twenty minutes. You've lost your breakfast, and unless you hustle you'll make us miss the steamer. Better let us in to help you pack!"
Wincher's had made it impossible, at the last moment, to move her farther from Washington. They had let their house on the North Shore, and as soon as they could leave "this dreadful hole" were going to Europe for the autumn. Miss Wincher simply didn't know how she got through the days; though no doubt it was as good as a rest-cure after the rush of the winter.
But these deviations from Paradise come only occasionally; they are the bitter that makes the sweet more sweet. I can safely promise you, nine times out of ten, pleasanter weather than you would find if at home. And that is the best test. Rest-cure. Those who visit the Canyon oftenest and stay longest find the least fault with its weather.
