In Chapter VII, Brett's newest man (Count Mippipopolous, Hemingway thinks he's funny) has achieved what Jake and his cohorts are searching aimlessly for: happiness.  The Count can actually enjoy life because of his experience in *seven* wars, whereas Jake hates his life because of participation in only one.  Like Jake, Brett is also dissatisfied with her life, and proposes to solve this by (surprise!) traveling to San Sebastian, Spain.  Let's see if this works out for her...

My favorite Calvin & Hobbes strip of all time. Genius.
