Out of another I get a lovely view of the bay and a little private wharf belonging to the estate. There is a beautiful shaded lane that runs down there from the house. I always fancy I see people walking in these numerous paths and arbors, but John has cautioned me not to give way to fancy in the least. He says that with my imaginative power and habit of story making a nervous weakness like mine is sure to lead to all manner of excited fancies, and that I ought to use my will and good sense to check the tendency. So I try.

But he is right enough about the beds and windows and things. It is as airy and comfortable a room as any one need wish, and, of course, I would not be so silly as to make him uncomfortable just for a whim. I’m really getting quite fond of the big room, all but that horrid paper. Out of one window I can see the garden, those mysterious deep-shaded arbors, the riotous old-fashioned flowers, and bushes and gnarly trees. AT 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 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 THEN HE TOOK ME IN HIS ARMS AND CALLED ME A BLESSED LITTLE GOOSE AND SAID HE WOULD GO DOWN TO THE CELLAR IF I WISHED AND HAVE IT WHITEWASHED INTO THE BARGAIN BUT HE IS RIGHT ENOUGH ABOUT THE BEDS AND WINDOWS AND THINGS IT IS AN AIRY AND COMFORTABLE ROOM AS ANY ONE NEED WISH AND OF COURSE I WOULD NOT BE SO SILLY AS TO MAKE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE JUST FOR A WHIM I'M REALLY GETTING QUITE FOND OF THE BIG ROOM ALL BUT THAT HORRID WALLPAPER OUT OF ONE WINDOW I CAN SEE THE GARDEN THOSE MYSTERIOUS DEEP SHADED ARBOURS THE RIDOUS OLD FASHIONED FLOWERS AND BUSHES AND GNARLEY TREES
