Henry in the meantime

'I will take care of the Tuileries myself; the day I decide to go they will be very glad to have me. ... I know what you are going to say:  'How will you dare?  But I shall dare. ... But that will not be this winter, nor perhaps next, and meantime I must live...'

from The American, by Henry James
