4/16 I take this opportunity to rebuke her for faults committed during the day, or to commend her for especial good behaviour. I also supplement the instruction in things in general that is given her by the excellent Miss Griggs. Oddly enough I am beginning to look forward to these evening hours. She is so docile, so good-humoured, so spontaneous. Sometimes I think of her only, in Pasquale's words, as a bundle of fascination, and forget that she has no soul. |
