Do
?
I
write
,
naturally
.
What
else
should
I
do
?
Is
it
not
that
I
live
by
?
For
the
moment
,
I
am
working
at
a
great
drama
,
'
The
Sign
of
the
Cross
.
'
Theme
taken
from
the
Middle
Ages
.
"
"
By
Jove
!
"
exclaimed
"
Missy
,
"
seriously
.
"
Well
,
if
you
succeed
with
that
,
why
...
.
"
"
I
have
no
great
anxiety
on
that
score
,
"
I
replied
.
"
In
eight
days
'
time
or
so
,
I
think
you
and
all
the
folks
will
have
heard
a
little
more
of
me
.

With
that
I
left
him
.
When
I
got
home
I
applied
at
once
to
my
landlady
,
and
requested
a
lamp
.
It
was
of
the
utmost
importance
to
me
to
get
this
lamp
;
I
would
not
go
to
bed
tonight
;
my
drama
was
raging
in
my
brain
,
and
I
hoped
so
surely
to
be
able
to
write
a
good
portion
of
it
before
morning
.
I
put
forward
my
request
very
humbly
to
her
,
as
I
had
noticed
that
she
made
a
dissatisfied
face
on
my
re-entering
the
sitting-room
.
I
said
that
I
had
almost
completed
a
remarkable
drama
,
only
a
couple
of
scenes
were
wanting
;
and
I
hinted
that
it
might
be
produced
in
some
theatre
or
another
,
in
no
time
.
If
she
would
only
just
render
me
this
great
service
now
...
.
But
madam
had
no
lamp
.
She
considered
a
bit
,
but
could
not
call
to
mind
that
she
had
a
lamp
in
any
place
.
If
I
liked
to
wait
until
twelve
o'clock
,
I
might
perhaps
get
the
kitchen
lamp
.
Why
did
n't
I
buy
myself
a
candle
?

I
held
my
tongue
.
I
had
n't
a
farthing
to
buy
a
candle
,
and
knew
that
right
well
.
Of
course
I
was
foiled
again
!
The
servant-girl
sat
inside
with
us
--
simply
sat
in
the
sitting-room
,
and
was
not
in
the
kitchen
at
all
;
so
that
the
lamp
up
there
was
not
even
lit
.
And
I
stood
and
thought
over
this
,
but
said
no
more
.
Suddenly
the
girl
remarked
to
me
:
"
I
thought
I
saw
you
come
out
of
the
palace
a
while
ago
;
were
you
at
a
dinner
party
?
"
and
she
laughed
loudly
at
this
jest
.
I
sat
down
,
took
out
my
papers
,
and
attempted
to
write
something
here
,
in
the
meantime
.
I
held
the
paper
on
my
knees
,
and
gazed
persistently
at
the
floor
to
avoid
being
distracted
by
anything
;
but
it
helped
not
a
whit
;
nothing
helped
me
;
I
got
no
farther
.
The
landlady
's
two
little
girls
came
in
and
made
a
row
with
the
cat
--
a
queer
,
sick
cat
that
had
scarcely
a
hair
on
it
;
they
blew
into
its
eyes
until
water
sprang
out
of
them
and
trickled
down
its
nose
.
The
landlord
and
a
couple
of
others
sat
at
a
table
and
played
cent
et
un
.
The
wife
alone
was
busy
as
ever
,
and
sat
and
sewed
at
some
garment
.
She
saw
well
that
I
could
not
write
anything
in
the
midst
of
all
this
disturbance
;
but
she
troubled
herself
no
more
about
me
;
she
even
smiled
when
the
servant-girl
asked
me
if
I
had
been
out
to
dine
.
The
whole
household
had
become
hostile
towards
me
.
