Venice was discussed.

No one of them was proposed as a future permanent home.

We had liked it much, and had formed some much valued friendships there.

It was supposed to be economical as a place to live in, which was one main point.

For our plan was to make for ourselves for two or three years a home and way of living sufficiently cheap to admit of combining with it large plans of summer travel.
