Nobody shall be invited tostay with me, and if any one calls they will be toldthat I am out, or away, or sick. I shall spend themonths in the garden, and on the plain, and in theforests. I shall watch the things that happen inmy garden, and see where I have made wet days I will go into the thickest parts ofthe forests, where the pine needles are everlastinglydry, and when the sun shines Ill he on the heathand see how the broom flares against the shall be perpetually happy, because there will beno one to worry me. Out there on the plain 3 4 THE SOLITARY SUMMER there is silence, and where there is silence I havediscovered there is peace.
