A Laodicean

BOOK THE FOURTH
9/54

Write a great deal about your daily doings, for my mind's eye keeps those sweet operations more distinctly before me than my bodily sight does my own.
'You say nothing of having been to look at the chapel-of-ease I told you of, the plans of which I made when an architect's pupil, working in metres instead of feet and inches, to my immense perplexity, that the drawings might be understood by the foreign workmen.

Go there and tell me what you think of its design.

I can assure you that every curve thereof is my own.
'How I wish you would invite me to run over and see you, if only for a day or two, for my heart runs after you in a most distracted manner.
Dearest, you entirely fill my life! But I forget; we have resolved not to go VERY FAR.

But the fact is I am half afraid lest, with such reticence, you should not remember how very much I am yours, and with what a dogged constancy I shall always remember you.

Paula, sometimes I have horrible misgivings that something will divide us, especially if we do not make a more distinct show of our true relationship.
