_ Letters Of Later Date Chapter III My dear John,--The Lady Emelyn swears by Venus and all the Goddesses that our party at your house must be postponed until Friday evening, that she may bring with us Miss Anna Loring and Miss Augusta King. What can mere men do? They submit. And they walk across the fields to look at a beautiful woman, at a Poet's wife. We are all very hot and very happy down here, and wonder if your ashes are white or quite invisible, for of course, in the city, you have become ash. Present us most kindly to your wife, and forget not that our coming will be much more enchanting with Mrs. S.'s proposed addition. Yours aff., G.W.C. NAHANT, Wednesday morning Aug 12, '51. _ |
