207. Luxury



How very pleasant it is for me to awaken between perfumed sheets in a spacious, spotless, well appointed bedroom. So much nicer than in a cheap, soiled pension! But then, if I didn’t have that experience, I wouldn’t know the difference! So is this the dawning of discrimination?


I expected to sleep last night under a tree by the roadside and instead I slept like a prince and, since it was cold and rainy last night, I would say: “Fortune is smiling”.


Eve summons me to a tasty and nourishing breakfast! Adam has already taken his breakfast— served to him in bed by his lovely wife. This is the way the males of his class and in this part of the world expect to be treated. Not too bad for the men! The women are supposed to stay out of sight and direct or perform the domestic chores.


Eve reminds me of a pretty French doll that cooks—their reality, my interpretation.
