Satis House, the home of Miss Havisham, the bitter old jilted bride in Dickens' Great Expectations, and of The Aspern Papers, a short novel by Henry James centered on love letters written by Lord Byron to young Miss Aspern, who kept them with her throughout her long life. <br /><br />We are left to guess at why Mme. Florian never returned to Paris, despite never having left France.<br /><br />Does anyone know who paid the rent all those years?<br /><br />FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-90738305030639346962016-02-14T11:36:14.071-06:002016-02-14T11:36:14.071-06:00how lovely AOW!
