Now that I know, at last--now that I have heard what your life has been (and oh I heard so much more than I have written!)--now that my eyes have been opened to see you as you are, I am proud, and glad and humble that I can believe that you felt a friendship for me strong enough to have made you go 'for my sake.' You will write to me just once, won't you?
and tell me if there was any error in what I listened to; but you must not come to the garden.

Now that I know you, I cannot meet you clandestinely again.
It would hurt the dignity which I feel in you now, and my own poor dignity--such as it is! I have been earnestly warned of the danger to you.

Besides, you must let me test myself.

I am all fluttering and frightened and excited.

You will obey me, won't you ?--do not come until I send for you.
