"Why, you see, Robert's always wanted to have a mistress, and if he doesn't marry me, why, then he's had one" (Hemingway 58)
I don't understand why Cohn would rather have mistresses than get married to me. I would be an amazing wife and I'd leave him alone and get along with him, but no I have to be the one to sacrifice myself for him. Yeah well I am tired of waiting. I've waited two years and I am not getting any younger. Can you believe I found another grey hair? I have waited so long for Cohn to ask me to marry him. God I was so stupid! I should have left him the first chance I got. Back then I was young and beautiful and could have easily married anyone I wanted down in Cannes, they were all crazy about me. All Cohn does now is focus on his book and he never pays attention to our relationship. He says he is having trouble coming up with material, well obviously if anyone is as pathetic and childish as he is now how can anyone ever come up with quality book publishing material. I swear ever since that one trip to New York he came back to Paris thinking he was Mr. Casanova just because three girls were flirting with him. Oh please! What he needs to do is lower that ego and remind himself who's gotten him this far, me. Me, its all been me.

Wow this is very insightful. I really enjoyed the point of view. It was a very deep and emotional and just overall wonderful look into the life of Frances Clyne. Good job ma'am. Exceptionally well written. ;)
