But I don't like your being alone down there with Colin. If he isn't

better we must send him to a nursing home.

Are you wondering whether we're going to be happy?

We shall be so long as I let her have her own way; which is what I mean

to do.

Your very affectionate father, JOHN SEVERN.

Look after her as much as you please--_I_ shall look after Colin.

Whether you like it or not, darling, you can't stop me. And I won't let

Colin go to a nursing home. It would be the worst possible place for

him. Ask Eliot. Besides, he _is_ better.

I'm ever so glad you're going to be happy.

Your loving ANNE.
