The Letters of Katherine Mansfield: Volume II

March 1920

I am all for Broomies.1 I, too, have this idea we may retire there and live on love when we are old. I love the little place. It's the right size and it's remote and very simple. William and Dorothy might have lived there or any of our own kind. If we do have money we can always make it better and better but I am greatly desirous of our owning it (bad English). I think it's us. We can leave it to Richard. It seems to me nicer than anything else. I see it under the stars—so quiet—its thorn hedges spangled with moonlight—our pony cropping—my dear love at the window telling me how fine the night is. Please let us decide on it if you agree. I want it with all my heart.

1 A cottage on a Sussex common, which we bought but never entered.
