There are points to be considered also in the Levine affair, for our bemused Dr. Levine would cut out all of nature, you think, if he had the chance, and as Ruburt said, sterilize the neighborhood. His response there was excellent for him, as you said. You both do need privacy for your work and because of your natures, but if you try to find a home with no dogs or children within miles, then in another way you are doing what Sam Levine is trying to do, only in your own way. To you, far more acceptable, of course, than his way.

This does not mean you need children in the house next door. It does mean that you settle for a reasonable amount of privacy, but that you do not carry the idea to extremes. If the sound of children’s voices, or dogs, even in the distance, annoys you, then you are doing a Dr. Levine in your own ways.

You would end up eventually making a studio in the attic, which would cost you more money, which you would have to spend. In the summer there would indeed be annoying children’s voices that reminded you that others lived differently. Ruburt would end up ripping away part of the carpet—good expensive rug—and changing the rooms about. And you cannot put a money value on what you would get out of that house.
