I spent a memorable day with Miss Sharp in the parc yesterday I do

not even remember what I did in the intermediate time--it seems of so

little importance--but this Thursday will always stand out as a landmark

of our acquaintance

We drove in a fiacre to the Little Trianon after she arrived, with

Burton on the box to help me out, and then I walked with rotto, and yet with a view of

the house--I was determined I would entice her to talk as an very cautiously so as not to provoke her to suggest

work

"Have you ever read that wonderful story called 'An Adventure'--The two

old ladies seeing Marie Antoinette and sohosts here?"

"No"

So I told her about it, and how they had accounted for it

"I expect it was true," she said

"You believe in ghosts then?"

"Sohosts"

"I wish I did--then I should know that there is a beyond--"

I felt she was looking surprised

"But of course there is a beyond--we have all been thereour evolution, after each life"
