e will herself bring them
to me again, with thanks, as soon as she has read them; and she and her
lord will come and be my guests (that was her particularly kind word)
for a fortnight.

I have now but one thing to wish for; and then, methinks, I shall be all

which I hope you will bestow upon me every morning and night, till you
