He at once explained to me that you had gone to a house party at some castle in Scotland, and said you were well and enjoying yourself very much, and he was on his way to join you.

I am sorry, daughter, that it has turned out that we could not see each other.

It seems a long time since you left us.

But I am very glad, however, that you are so well and really like English life.

If we had time for it I am sure it would be delightful.
