ABSTRACT

Arriving in Greece, the author went straight to Kopanas, that is, to the foundations for a house which had been started a few years before this by Isadora and the whole Duncan family. They called it the Palace of Agamemnon, but it looked more like the remains of a medieval fortress, standing as it does, about five miles from Athens, on the summit of one of the foothills of Hymettos. With the help of the shepherd they bought a few jugs of water and a few provisions; then he started off with Raymond to draw a deposit which he expected to find at a certain bank. We found the bank but not the money, which, through an error I could not have known of, had been forwarded to another bank. And so it happened that for about two weeks they lived on the top of a barren mill, with no money and no friends.
