one needs a passing acquaintance

with music, poetry etc. Yes, I can't

stick the ...Arringh crush, altho' I would

rather have Mrs Arringh than her

daughters. She has more common-sense,

+ as for her extreme bitterness, - I have

an idea that a good deal is caused

by her being a disappointed woman, - 

I mean as regards her whole life. Did

you know that she ran away to marry

Mr A.? Havell  will get a "long

drop" in the future - perhaps. It

would be funny, however, if he had to

pay some of mine! I must say, I am

surprised at Dick being so extremely

mean re money. I mean, I should

have thought he would have had

more respect for himself (at any rate)

than to leave his wife short like that.

As for the confidence - I know I can

trust my woman, anyway, + that's good

enough for me - see, lassie? Thank Julia
