"Will you let me write to you--occasionally?
Would you let me keep up our acquaintance in this way,--so that, if you return to London, I might look forward to meeting you again some time ?" The girl answered timidly-- "I shall be glad to keep up our acquaintance.

I shall be glad to hear from you." Then, at once feeling that she had gone too far, her confusion made her pale.
