Then he said, you see, “You just take care of it,” and then as I would start to do something that he thought was very extravagant with my money, he'd say, “Now, don't do that. I've paid the tax on your money and I don't want you to spend your money on that. I'll pay it out of my money.” And then I'd tell him something that he didn't like, like I wanted to make a garden with Nelson Rockefeller behind the Museum of Modern Art or something like that, and he'd be absolutely horrified that I would do anything with Nelson Rockefeller. That was terrible. He wouldn't give me any money, but I also couldn't use my money. Oh, we had some very amusing things develop.

I was ruined by this, you see, because eventually I did not live on my money. But for a year and a half I did, and we had no talk about it, no trouble, and we seemed perfectly happy over it. It was very sweet of his son though.
