This summer I will be in a far distant land cut off from the world.*
Of course, your first response to that statement was "But how will you get books, Esme?"
I will tell you.
For one thing, they have a library. But I don't know what books they have there, other than a Mrs. Pollifax on which a bird once pooped while I was reading it. I will enjoy exploring this library, but I will also bring books. Preferably, books I already own or can borrow from Katie.

Did I ever tell you about that one time I tied to read a bio of Jane Austen and it ended really poorly? No? Well, one time when I was like 14 or something I tried to read a bio of Jane Austen. And it ended poorly. Turns out that I wasn't too interested in reading about her childhood. It probably doesn't get good until she gets older and angsty, you know? ("It" being her life, of course.)
ReplyDeleteAnd what would a bio of Emily say? "She had a great childhood but then she got all eccentric and locked herself up in a room. The end." Ahahaha... I am cruel.
Seriously, though, spinsters are great.
There was indeed two questions on the Holden application that i nearly missed. Thank you dear sister.
