Longing Hearts Could Only Stand So Much

My Age Is My Own Private Business And I Intend To Keep It So - If I Can. I Am Not So Old That I Am Ashamed Of My Age And I Am Not So Young That I Couldn't Have Written My Book And That Is All The Public Needs To Know About My Age.

I Have A Passionate Desire For Personal Privacy. I Want To Stand Before The World, For Good Or Bad, On The Book I Wrote, Not On What I Say In Letters To Friends, Not On My Husband And My Home Life, The Way I Dress, My Likes And Dislikes, Et Cetera. My Book Belongs To Anyone Who Has The Price, But Nothing Of Me Belongs To The Public.

I've Always Had A Weakness For Lost Causes Once They're Really Lost.
