I find him very affable. And so does Dick. We
think Robina will get over it. And he has promised not to be angry
with her. Because I have told him that she does not mean it. It is
only her way. She says she feels it is unjust of her. Because
really he is rather charming. I told him that. And he said I was a
dear little girl. He is going to get me a real crown. Robina says
he has nice eyes. I told him that. And he laughed. There is a
gentleman comes here that I think is in love with Robina. But I
shouldn't say anything to her about it. If I was you. She is very
snappy about it. He is not handsome. But he looks good. He writes
for the papers. But I don't think he is rich. And Robina is very
nice to him. Until he's gone. Then she gets mad. It all began with
the explosion. So perhaps it was fate. He is going to keep it out
of the papers. As much as he can. But of course he owes a duty to
the public. I am going to decline to see him. I think it better.
Mr. Slee says everything will be in apple-pie order to-morrow. So
you can come down. And we are going to have Irish stew. And roly-
poly pudding. It will be a change. He is very nice. And says he
was always in trouble himself when he was a little boy. It's all
experience. We are all going on Friday to a party at Mr. St.
Leonard's. And you have got to come too. Robina says I can wear my
new frock. But we can't find the sash.
