The note which at length satisfied her ran thus: 'DEAR MR.

WIDDOWSON--I am very sorry that it will be impossible for me to see you next Sunday.

All day I shall be occupied.

My eldest sister is leaving London, and Sunday will be my last day with her, perhaps for a long time.

Please do not think that I make light of your kindness.
When I am settled in my new life, I hope to be able to let you know how it suits me .-- Sincerely yours, MONICA MADDEN.' In a postscript she mentioned her new address.
