Oh!--but I AM glad you are back.

Your uncle--you always called him so, I remember--your uncle has had an awful hard time of it--had to sell most of his things--terrible--terrible! And then, too, he has grieved so over you--asking me, sometimes two or three times a day, for letters from you--asking me questions and worrying over your not coming and not answering.

Oh, this is fine.

Now may be we can save the situation.

You don't mind my shaking your hand again, do you?
It's so good to know there is somebody who can help.
