Of course you will understand that this is not supposed to extend to accidental meetings, as to which, should they occur,--and they would be sure to occur,--you would find that they would be wholly unnoticed by me.
But I must request that you will comply with my wish in this matter.

If you will send for me, I will go to you instantly, and after one word from you to the desired effect, you will find that there will be no recurrence by me to a subject so hateful.

As I have done, and am doing what I think to be right, I cannot stultify myself by saying that I think I have been wrong.
Yours always, dearest Emily, With the most thorough love, LOUIS TREVELYAN.
