Do have another jelly first. I was going to say that the Continent, for good or for evil, is interested in ideas. Its Literature and Art have what one might call the kink of the unseen about them, and this persists even through decadence and affectation. There is more liberty of action in England, but for liberty of thought go to bureaucratic Prussia. And for discussing with humility I am too old.
Discussion keeps a house alive.
But I cannot expect your generation to agree, for even my daughter disagrees with me here. There was a little silence. I never follow any arguments. I say they may. I don't know, I don't know.
