An Old-fashioned Girl

CHAPTER VI
28/31

I really have n't time, but I do sometimes long a little for the quiet, the pure air and the girlish amusements I used to enjoy so much.

One gets pale, and old, and sadly fagged out, with all this dissipation, pleasant as it is.

I feel quite blas, already.
If you could send me the rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and gay spirits I always had at home, I 'd thank you.

As you cannot do that, please send me a bottle of June rain water, for my maid tells me it is better than any cosmetic for the complexion, and mine is getting ruined by late hours.
I fancy some fruit off our own trees would suit me, for I have no appetite, and mamma is quite desolate about me.

One cannot live on French cookery without dyspepsia, and one can get nothing simple here, for food, like everything else, is regulated by the fashion.
Adieu, ma chere, I must dress for church.
