It is the society of other men you need.

Try and persuade George and Harris to go with you.

Believe me, a highly strung brain such as yours demands occasional relaxation from the strain of domestic surroundings.

Forget for a little while that children want music lessons, and boots, and bicycles, with tincture of rhubarb three times a day; forget there are such things in life as cooks, and house decorators, and next-door dogs, and butchers' bills.

Go away to some green corner of the earth, where all is new and strange to you, where your over-wrought mind will gather peace and fresh ideas.
