I know a little of the principle of design, and I know this thing was not arranged on any laws of radiation, or alternation, or repetition, or symmetry, or anything else that I ever heard of. It is repeated, of course, by the breadths, but not otherwise.

ar. I don’t feel as if it was worth while to turn my hand over for anything, and I’m getting dreadfully fretful and querulous. I cry at nothing, and cry most of the time. Of course I don’t when John is here, or anybody else, but when I am alone. And I am alone a good deal just now. John is kept in town very often by serious cases, and Jennie is good and lets me alone when I want her to. So I walk a little in the garden or down that lovely lane, sit on the porch under the roses, and lie down up here a good deal. I’m getting really fond of the room in spite of the wallpaper. Perhaps because of the wallpaper. It dwells in my mind so! I lie here on this great immovable bed—it is nailed down, I believe—and follow that pattern about by the hour. It is as good as gymnastics, I assure you. I start, we’ll say, at the bottom, down in the corner over there where it has not been touched, and I determine for the thousandth time that I will follow that pointless pattern to some sort of a conclusion.  IT IS SUCH AN UNDERTAKING TO GO SO FAR I DON'T FEEL AS IF IT WAS WORTH WHILE TO TURN MY HAND OVER FOR ANYTHING AND I'M GETTING DREADFULLY FRETFUL AND QUERULOUS I CRY AT NOTHING AND CRY MOST OF THE TIME OF COURSE I DON'T WHEN JOHN IS HERE OR ANYBODY ELSE BUT WHEN I AM ALONE AND I AM ALONE A GREAT DEAL JUST NOW JOHN IS KEPT IN TOWN VERY OFTEN BY SERIOUS CASES AND JENNY IS GOOD AND LETS ME ALONE WHEN I WANT HER TO SO I WALK A LITTLE IN THE GARDEN OR DOWN THAT LOVELY LANE SIT ON THE PORCH UNDER THE ROSES AND LIE DOWN UP HERE A GOOD DEAL I'M GETTING OUT OF THE ROOM IN SPITE OF THE WALL PAPER PERHAPS BECAUSE OF THE WALL PAPER IT DWELLS IN MY MIND SO I LIE HERE ON THIS GREAT IMMOVABLE BED IT IS NAILED DOWN I BELIEVE AND FOLLOW THAT PATTERN ABOUT BY THE HOUR IT IS AS GOOD AS GYMNASTICS I ASSURE YOU I START OR SAY AT THE BOTTOM DOWN IN THE CORNER OVER THERE WHERE IT HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED AND I DETERMINE FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME THAT I WILL FOLLOW THAT POINTLESS PATTERN TO SOME SORT OF CONCLUSION
