been married
for nearly thirty years, nothing gives us more happiness than to
sit holding one another's hands. I have always been sentimental,
and I am not ashamed to own it. Reggie is sometimes afraid that I
shall get an attack of my rheumatism when we sit out together at
night; but I always take care to wrap myself up well, and I
invariably make him put a muffler on.

"Give my kindest regards to your wife, and tell her I hope to see
her soon.--Yours very sincerely,

"CLARA DE TULLEVILLE CLIBBORN."
