Lady Merrenden then said she knew so here who had an aparto down and see if they were visible She would wait for Robert in the hall, she said, and she kissed us good-night and gave us her blessing

What a dear she is! What a nice pet, to leave us alone!

Robert and I passed another hour of bliss, and I think we ot to the sixth heaven by now--Robert says the seventh is for the end, e are married Well, that will be soon Oh, I am too happy to write coherently!

I did not wake till late this -roo Robert is!

To Christopher I said I had found my "variation" worth while, and I hoped he would co some day soon

Then I sent Véronique to post the to Carlton House Terrace What a delight that will be! and in a fortnight--or at best three weeks--Robert says we shall quietly go and get ive me away after all

Oh, the joy of the dear, beautiful world, and this sweet, dirty, entrancing, fog-bound London! I love it all--even the sht

Robert caht , and I danced about like a child with delight over it He has the most exquisite senti, and he ether we seem to discover some new bit of us which is just what the other wants And he is so deliciously jealous anda lot of things, and I am sure there are lots to learn still

At half-past one Lady Merrenden came and fetched us in the barouche, and off ent to Vavasour House, hat different feelings to last evening!
