For twenty years I had been perfectly comfortable; for\u003cbr\u003etwenty years I had had the window-boxes filled in the spring, the\u003cbr\u003ecarpets lifted, the awnings put up and the furniture covered with brown\u003cbr\u003elinen; for as many summers I had said good-by to my friends, and, after\u003cbr\u003ewatching their perspiring hegira, had settled down to a delicious quiet\u003cbr\u003ein town, where the mail comes three times a day, and the water supply\u003cbr\u003edoes not depend on a tank on the roof.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then--the madness seized me.  When I look back over the months I\u003cbr\u003espent at Sunnyside, I wonder that I survived at all.  As it is, I show\u003cbr\u003ethe wear and tear of my harrowing experiences.  I have turned very\u003cbr\u003egray--Liddy reminded me of it, only yesterday, by saying that a little\u003cbr\u003ebluing in the rinse-water would make my hair silvery, instead of a\u003cbr\u003eyellowish white.  I hate to be reminded of unpleasant things and I\u003cbr\u003esnapped her off.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069656121584,"sku":"2940013081086","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013081086_p0.jpg?v=1763576624","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013081086","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
