I wish I was a seagull. They'rethe most carefree of all the birds, don't you think? Look. Wild roses! Isn't pink justthe most bewitching colour? I love it, but I can't wear it. Redheaded people can't wear pink,not even in the imagination. Do you know of anybody whosehair was red when she was young, but got to be anothercolour when she grew up? I shouldn't think it likely. There's another hope gone. "My life is a perfectgraveyard of buried hopes." I read that sentence in a book once, and I say it to comfort myselfwhenever I'm disappointed in anything. Don't see where the comforting comes in,myself. Because it sounds so romantic, as if I were a heroine in a storybook. You must've gone to school.Not a great deal, although I went recentlywhen I was back at the asylum. I love school, but when I'm in ahousehold with so much to attend to, the children and the cooking andthe chores, it just wasn't an option
