And of course I must feel it very much You did not use to be ill-natured, and I hardly think you can have beco pleasant around you I do not think that I have done anything that should make an old friend treat me in this way, and therefore I write to ask you to lethere You knoell enough to be sure that it can't be ainst these people, I suppose papa does not know it Of course they are not nice Of course they are not like anything that I have been used to But when papa told me that the house in Bruton Street was to be shut up and that I was to come here, of course I did as I was bid I don't think an old friend like you, whoht to cut me for it It's not about the parties, but about yourself that I mind I don't ask you to coe and will go to you

Yours, as ever, GEORGIANA LONGESTAFFE
