“Josephine is so happy here, running as fast as her chubby little legs will carry her across what will become our lawn. My feelings about living in a place so remote are in a constant flux, much more so with every visit we make to the island for “progress reports.” While it will be so alien to live without the clip-clop of horse hooves just outside the window or the murmur of conversation from the street, I must admit that Whitney Island is a peaceful place. None of the tedium of city life will ...find us here. No unexpected visits from neighbors. No calling cards. No worrying about being seen in the right shops, the right clubs. And the house will further these advantages. The gardens will be second to none. There will be room for the children to play without worrying for their safety from carriages, strangers. I feel that I will be able to breathe properly, for the first time in years. It will be a compromise, diary, one that I hope I am able to make. On that note, Gerald insists on the Crane’s Nest having enough room to throw the elaborate parties that are becoming so fashionable.MoreLessRead More Read Less
