"Splendid! You can't imagine what an effectual remedy it is for

every sort of foolishness. I want to enrich medicine with a new

word: Arbeitskur."

"No, but for all sorts of nervous invalids."

"Yes, it ought to be tried. I had meant to come to the mowing to

look at you, but it was so unbearably hot that I got no further

than the forest. I sat there a little, and went on by the forest

to the village, met your old nurse, and sounded her as to the

peasants' view of you. As far as I can make out, they don't

approve of this. She said: 'It's not a gentleman's work.'

Altogether, I fancy that in the people's ideas there are very

clear and definite notions of certain, as they call it,

'gentlemanly' lines of action. And they don't sanction the

gentry's moving outside bounds clearly laid down in their ideas."
