Before she came to Paris with the author of her autobiography (a literary portraitist, among other kinds of writer), Toklas tell us "I myself have no liking for violence and have always enjoyed the pleasure of needlework and gardening. I am fond of painting, furniture, tapestry, houses and flowers and even vegetables and fruit trees. I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it." (3-4)
