How could I stand the loneliness?
Did I know what I was getting into?
Could I take care of myself entirely?
What if I fell ill again and in the middle of the winter, when the ways were snowbound?
I thought of Zoe.

Why not take her with me?
I could teach her.

She could run the house.

Reverdy looked at me with a certain dubiety.

Sarah would hate to part with Zoe.
