Has Jeanne read my thoughts? She proposes to sleep downstairs with Torp so long as I have "company."

I have begun a long letter to Richard, and that has passed the time so well. I wish he could find some dear little creature who would sweeten life for him. He is a good soul. During the last few days I seem to have started a kind of affection for him.
We will travel a great deal, Joergen and I. Hitherto I have seen nothing on my many trips abroad. Joergen must show me the world. We will visit all the places he once went to alone.
Now I understand the doubting apostle Thomas. Until my eyes behold I dare not believe.
Joergen has such a big powerful head! I sometimes feel as though I were clasping it with both my hands.

Torp suggests that to-morrow we should have the same menu that she prepared when the "State Councillor" entertained Prince Waldemar. Well! Provided she can get all she wants for her creations! She can amuse herself at the telegraph office as far as I am concerned. I am willing to help her; at any rate, I can stir the mayonnaise.
