Dreams and Legends Spring to Life Out of the Grass

I was very comfortable here, and getting on with my book. If you want to know, I am just writing an ending for it. I had thought of putting, “...and he lived happily ever afterwards to the end of his days.” It is a good ending, and none the worse for having been used before. Now I shall have to alter that. It does not look like coming true, and anyway there will evidently have to be several more chapters, if I live to write them. It is a frightful nuisance.
