"You know the place is doing you good," he said, "and really, dear, I don't care to renovate the house just for a three months' rental." "Then do let us go downstairs," I said, "there are such pretty rooms there." YOU KNOW THE PLACE IS DOING YOU GOOD HE SAID AND REALLY DEAR I DON'T CARE TO RENOVATE THE HOUSE JUST FOR A THREE MONTHS RENTAL THEN DO LET US GO DOWNSTAIRS I SAID THERE ARE SUCH PRETTY ROOMS THERE
are dreadfully depressing. John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no reason to suffer, and that satisfies him. Of course it is only nervousness. It does weigh on me so not to do my duty in any way! I meant to be such a help to John, such a real rest and comfort, and here I am a comparative burden already! Nobody would believe what an effort it is to do what little I am able—to dress and entertain, and order things. It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous. I suppose John never was nervous in his life. He laughs at me so about this wallpaper! At first he meant to repaper the room, but afterwards he said that I was letting it get the better of me, and that nothing was worse for a nervous patient than to give way to such fancies. He said that after the wallpaper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on.  BUT THOSE NERVOUS TROUBLES ARE DREADFULLY DEPRESSING JOHN DOES NOT KNOW HOW MUCH I REALLY SUFFER HE KNOWS THERE IS NO REASON TO SUFFER AND THAT SATISFIES HIM OF COURSE IT IS ONLY NERVOUSNESS IT DOES WEIGH ON ME SO NOT TO DO MY DUTY IN ANY WAY I MEANT TO BE SUCH A HELP TO JOHN SUCH A REAL REST AND COMFORT AND HERE I AM A COMPARATIVE BURDEN ALREADY NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE WHAT AN EFFORT IT IS TO DO WHAT LITTLE I AM ABLE TO DRESS AND ENTERTAIN IN OTHER THINGS IT IS FORTUNATE THAT MARY IS SO GOOD WITH THE BABY SUCH A DEAR BABY AND YET I CANNOT BE WITH HIM IT MAKES ME SO NERVOUS I SUPPOSE JOHN WAS NEVER NERVOUS IN HIS LIFE HE LAUGHS AT ME SO ABOUT THIS WALLPAPER AT FIRST HE MEANT TO REPAPER THE ROOM BUT AFTERWARDS HE SAID I WAS LETTING IT GET THE BETTER OF ME AND THAT NOTHING WAS WORSE FOR A NERVOUS PATIENT THAN TO GIVE WAY TO SUCH FANCIES HE SAID THAT AFTER THE WALL PAPER WAS CHANGED IT WOULD BE THE HEAVY BEDSTEAD THEN THE BARRED WINDOWS AND THEN THAT GATE AT THE HEAD OF THE STAIRS AND SO ON
