If the house is small, why we shall be nearer to each other; if we have nothing to tempt us out--parks, gardens, grounds--we must be at home the longer. Ah, zoo Jewell zoo rose diamond zoo Poodle marks of kisses. I long to hear all about the G 's. Have not you got " Falkland" yet? Let me know more about oo. Zoo has left off telling me where oo go and what oo do, wh. me likes hearing. My poor dear love, does the weather make oo ill? Do nurse yourself quite well, and let me know all about oo, an exact bulletin. My dearest, dearest Poodle, oh that I could kiss oo well I would kiss oo so Believe me, my own life and love, that I am truly and fully sensible of all that your dear, dear letter contains. Every proof of your confidence as well as love in me gives me a pleasure that I have no words to express. There never was, I am sure, an attachment that rested so much upon the trust in each other; and when even the warmest moments of passion are also accompanied by esteem, the shortest in duration of all human feelings becomes the longest. You have the art to make me adore you beyond all possible expression, and I never worship you with so earnest a devotion as when you advance the least claim to my veneration. Does oo think, darling, that I do not think oo a thousand times more of an Angel when oo is most a woman? No, my own Rose, it is not when oo is most sensible and clever and dazzling that I love oo or even respect oo most. I never admired you more enthusiastically than I do now, nor ever signed myself with greater sincerity, Zoo own adoring idolizing Puppy. CXIX. Asking which to publish next, " Mr. Mortimer..".
