Shame on you! Look what I'll have to do to fill the heroic part you've fixed for me! The one and only reason that I didn't hasten to write to you last night in response to letters that came than was that I had a terrific kopfweh. I don't know where I got it - certainly not from drink, because I haven't been drinking anything but bottled water, to the great concern of Martine.

Well, I thought my time had come. So I swallowed an aspirin tablet and skedaddled to bed. This morning, to my surprise and satisfaction I awoke feeling as chipper as a chipmunk. As if in answer to my wail and plea of two nights ago for more work business brisked up in our office yesterday and today. I actually was fully occupied during most of both days, and gosh! how I enjoyed it. If I had to work hard and fast
