I noticed it the moment we came into the room, but with so much air and sun it was not bad. Now we have had a week of fog and rain, and whether the windows are open or not, the smell is here. It creeps all over the house. I find it hovering in the dining room, skulking in the parlor, hiding in the hall, lying in wait for me on the stairs. It gets into my hair. Even when I go to ride, if I turn my head suddenly and surprise it—there is that smell!

ter, and am more quiet than I was. John is so pleased to see me improve! He laughed a little the other day, and said I seemed to be flourishing in spite of my wallpaper. I turned it off with a laugh. I had no intention of telling him it was because of the wallpaper—he would make fun of me. He might even want to take me away. I don’t want to leave now until I have found it out. There is a week more, and I think that will be enough. I’m feeling ever so much better! I don’t sleep much at night, for it is so interesting to watch developments; but I sleep a good deal in the daytime. In the daytime it is tiresome and perplexing. There are always new shoots on the fungus, and new shades of yellow all over it. I cannot keep count of them, though I have tried conscientiously. It is the strangest yellow, that wallpaper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw—not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things. But there is something else about that paper—the smell! H I REALLY DO EAT BETTER AND AM MORE QUIET THAN I WAS JOHN IS SO PLEASED TO SEE ME IMPROVE HE LAUGHED A LITTLE THE OTHER DAY AND SAID I SEEMED TO BE FLOURISHING IN SPITE OF MY WALL PAPER I TURNED IT OFF WITH A LAUGH I HAD NO INTENTION OF TELLING HIM IT WAS BECAUSE OF THELL PAPER HE WOULD MAKE FUN OF ME HE MIGHT EVEN WANT TO TAKE ME AWAY I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE NOW UNTIL I HAVE FOUND IT OUT THERE IS A WEEK MORE AND I THINK THAT WILL BE ENOUGH I'M FEELING EVER SO MUCH BETTER I DON'T SLEEP MUCH AT NIGHT FOR IT IS SO INTERESTING TO WATCH DEVELOPMENTS BUT I SLEEP A GOOD DEAL IN THE DAYTIME IN THE DAYTIME IT IS TIRESOME AND PERPLEXING THERE ARE ALWAYS NEW SHOOTS ON THE FUNGUS AND NEW SHADES OF YELLOW ALL OVER IT I CANNOT KEEP COUNT OF THEM THOUGH I HAVE TRIED CONSCIENTIOUSLY IT IS THE STRANGEST YELLOW THAT WALL PAPER IT MAKES ME THINK OF ALL THE YELLOW THINGS I EVER SAW NOT BEAUTIFUL ONES LIKE BUTTERCUPS BUT OLD FOUL BAD YELLOW THINGS BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT THAT WALL PAPER THE SMELL
