Mary Jane might not be the most intelligent woman, but she was one of the most determined.
Even so, it took her several days to force Walter to tell her Nicolas's whereabouts.
Packing a small suitcase, informing her husband whom she found in Harry's Bar that she was taking a train to Germany to get away for a while, patting his arm, refusing a drink, getting on the train -- all this had only taken her two hours.
She had arrived this morning and come straight to the English Gardens.
`` Dear girl '', Walter had finally said, `` he writes me that he is sleeping in the English Gardens ''.
`` How like him ''!!
Mary Jane had smilingly said.
`` His address '', Walter added, `` is that great foundling home, the American Express.
And I will greatly appreciate it if you will not tell your husband.
'' For the last half hour Mary Jane had criss-crossed half the length of the Gardens and, at last, come upon her knight.
His presence there, asleep in the grass, confirmed all that Mary Jane believed it was in his power to teach her: freedom from the tedium of needs such as hotels, the meaning of nature, how to live, simply, with the angels.
