Good night, belovedest. Your sleep will be sweet if there is any influences in the wishes of your own.

...a little "appreciation" sometimes does quite as much good as all the conscientious "bringing up" in the world.

I'm not a bit changed - not really. I'm only just pruned down and branched out. The real me - back here - is just the same.

Houses are like people - some you like and some you don't like - and once in a while there is one you love.

Everything that's worth having is some trouble.

But feeling is so different from knowing. My common sense tells me all you can say, but there are times when common sense has no power over me. Common nonsense takes possession of my soul.

I was very much provoked. Of course, I knew there are no fairies; but that needn't prevent my thinking there is.
