My First Mistress. My Second Wife. My Favorite Trust Fund.

20 Jul

I met Pauline Pfeiffer while I was still with Hadley. This was problematic.

Who Could Resist Such a Fine Lady.

It was lucky that Paulina had a trust fund. She helped me in my writing of A Farewell To Arms. I felt bad for Hadley, of course, being divorced, so all of the rights for The Sun Also Rises were left in her possession. She had a son to look after. My son. I think the money helped ease the pain (34).

Eventually.
