"she is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain"


The snow has seen to it that all weekend plans have been cancelled. So instead I'm going to settle down with cosy things and novels.
If only I could find somewhere toasty in which to hide.
In reality, despite my constant posturing to the contrary, I am just a country girl lost in the city and I don't know what to do with this weather and my books without a real live fire.
I've succeeded in making the light in my room cast a soft orange glow round the walls but my fingers and toes are still cold and my cheeks aren't rosy.
It's not the "atmosphere" I'm used to.
I guess I'll just have to depend on the stories and the wine.
