I Have Just Made Stories To Please

I Hold That A Strongly Marked Personality Can Influence Descendants For Generations.

The Place Is Changed Now, And Many Familiar Faces Are Gone, But The Greatest Change Is Myself. I Was A Child Then, I Had No Idea What The World Would Be Like. I Wished To Trust Myself On The Waters And The Sea. Everything Was Romantic In My Imagination. The Woods Were Peopled By The Mysterious Good Folk. The Lords And Ladies Of The Last Century Walked With Me Along The Overgrown Paths, And Picked The Old Fashioned Flowers Among The Box And Rose Hedges Of The Garden.

I Think If She Lived In A Little Shoe-house That Little Old Woman Was Surely A Mouse!

I Have Just Made Stories To Please Myself, Because I Never Grew Up.

The Shorter And The Plainer The Better.
