She wrote to Aino Taylor on September 8, 1943: »I'm working on my play. Buried in the pines, in a little wooden bungalow; all but two guests have gone, and we alone inhabit the great mansion. A snake got into the huge reception room and made its home under a statue - we chased it out. It was a poor garter snake living on mosquitoes and flies and bugs. Poor things!... I dread going on lecture tour«
