To his journal, however, he expresses his impatience: "Poor Clifton is still, after two months, wailing and sob bing over Maybelle's death. As she was well over 90, gaga, and had driven him mad for years, this seems excessive and overindulgent. He arrives here on Monday [Dec. 19] and I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas...
