So you are curious to know the outcome of this prescription of travel?
As soon as I escaped from the oppressive atmosphere of the city, and from that awful odour of reeking kitchens which, when in use, pour forth a ruinous mess of steam and soot, I perceived at once that my health was mending.
And how much stronger do you think I felt when I reached my vineyards!
Being, so to speak, let out to pasture, I regularly walked into my meals!
So I am my old self again, feeling now no wavering languor in my system, and no sluggishness in my brain.
I am beginning to work with all my energy.
