Neither the United States nor Castro would appreciate the word ‘even’!

Mary wrote back from Great Cumberland Place:

I have a sort of hazy feeling about you as if you were wandering out of our ken entirely in the strange new world of Spain—new to you and yet so old—to my imagination more full of romance than anything we have seen together. From Scipio Africanus on through Visigoths, Jews and Moors and those wonderful 15th and 16th Century Spaniards, with their chivalry and enterprise, and deep yet fantastically picturesque religion. Well, you are in the thick of it all, thinking many a thought as you go about all alone and cut off from all the people round you, but you, I know, like the savour of that sort of situation and dig deep in it to come back refreshed to the every day humdrum, that you know so well here. I sometimes think you should have been a 16th century person yourself and have gone seeking for the El Dorado with Cortés.
