Of course I know that there are certain matters as
to which you and Lord Fawn do not agree--in politics, I mean; but still I
do not doubt but you will think that he is quite able to take care of your
poor little cousin. It was only settled a day or two since, but it has
been coming on ever so long. You understand all about that, don't you? Of
course you must come to my wedding, and be very good to me--a kind of
brother, you know; for we have always been friends, haven't we? And if the
dean doesn't come up to town, you must give me away. And you must come and
see me ever so often; for I have a sort of feeling that I have no one else
belonging to me that I can call really my own, except you. And you must be
great friends with Lord Fawn, and must give up saying that he doesn't do
his work properly. Of course he does everything better than anybody else
could possibly do it, except Cousin Frank.
"I am going down next week to Richmond. Lady Fawn has insisted on my
staying there for a fortnight. Oh dear, what shall I do all the time? You
must positively come down and see me, and see somebody else too. Only you,
naughty coz, you mustn't break a poor girl's heart.
