You can forget in all the busyness that
there are times and places so wonderfully still.”

"It was beautiful here, beautiful and hopeful and happy," he told her. "Horses grazing, 
her dog napping in the sun. The flowers were lovely. Janet did some of the gardening
herself when she was here, I think. She came here to relax, she said. And she would, 
for short stretches. But then she needed people that's my take on it. 
She needed the noise and the laughter, the light. 
But now and again, she came out alone. No friends, no family, no press.
 I always wondered what she did during those solo visits."
