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
