Englishwoman's Love Letters - Page 47/59

Oh, Beloved, I am most poor and most rich when I think of your love.

Good-night; I can never let thought of you go!

Beloved: These are almost all of them, but not quite; a few here and there

have cried to be taken out, saying they were still too shy to be looked

at. I can't argue with them: they know their own minds best; and you know

mine.

See what a dignified historic name I have given this letter-box, or

chatterbox, or whatever you like to call it. But "Resurrection Pie" is

my name for it. Don't eat too much of it, prays your loving.
