Don't worry. Please.
-
How is Mary? I do wish I could have seen her today.
-
Well, slow to start with,
-
but now she's on her way, which I'm glad of.
-
- I heard they were well suited. - Yes.
-
They were happy, which makes the parting worse,
-
but gives you strength in the end, as we know.
-
You maybe. Not me.
-
Lady Merton and I were not exactly meant to be together.
-
We struggled on, of course, as everyone did in those days,
-
but I'm not sure now how sensible it was.
-
I envy you, your wonderful memories,
