It isn't strange that it's lasted until now, not more than three weeks, after all.

She's only seen you four or five times, and me not much oftener.

No one speaks of you to her, and I've kept out of sight when others were about.

Mrs.Tanberry is her only close friend, and, naturally, wouldn't be apt to mention that you are dark and I am fair, or to describe us personally, any more than you and I would mention the general appearance of people we both meet about town.

But you needn't tell me that it can't last much longer.
