I think I would have checked into a monastery. :P I'm not religious, but I am an introvert, and I wouldn't have lasted long at Versailles.

But Mildred, why choose a monastery if you could find earthly paradise with lots of books, only guests if you wanted them, and France’s wittiest writer in an old country house?

I mean, if we're talking custom designing a lifestyle for me, then that, yes! (Minus the witty writer, though, tbh.) The monastery was a rhetorical device to convey just HOW repelled I am by the idea of living at Versailles, omg. D:
