The Odd Women

CHAPTER IX
2/33

Shall I run down to Sheffield to see you, or is there any chance of the holidays bringing you this way?
I have found a cheap flat, poorly furnished, in Bayswater; the man who let it to me happens to be an engineer, and is absent on Italian railway work for a year or so.

My stay in London won't, I think, be for longer than six months, but we must see each other and talk over old times,' etc.
This he addressed to a school at Sheffield.

The answer, directed to the club, reached him in three days.
'My DEAR BARFOOT,--I also am in London; your letter has been forwarded from the school, which I quitted last Easter.

Disinterested or not, I am happy to tell you that I have got a vastly better appointment.

Let me know when and where to meet you; or if you like, come to these lodgings of mine.
