Three Lives Stories of The Good Anna, Melanctha and The Gentle Lena GERTRUDE STEIN Donc je suis malheureux et ce n'est ni ma faute ni celle de la vie.[1] Jules Laforgue [Footnote 1: Therefore I am unhappy and it is neither my fault nor that of life.] Contents page The Good Anna 1 Melanctha 47 The Gentle Lena 142 THE GOOD ANNA Part I The tradesmen of Bridgepoint learned to dread the sound of "Miss Mathilda", for with that name the good Anna always conquered. The strictest of the one price stores found that they could give things for a little less, when the good Anna had fully said that "Miss Mathilda" could not pay so much and that she could buy it cheaper "by Lindheims." Lindheims was Anna's favorite store, for there they had bargain days, when flour and sugar were sold for a quarter of a cent less for a pound, and there the heads of the departments were all her friends and always managed to give her the bargain prices, even on other days.
