I think you might have telegraphed for me when you heard of it first.

I read of it quite by chance in a late edition of The Globe that I picked up at the club.

I came here at once and was miserable at not finding you.

I can't tell you how heart-broken I am about the whole thing.

I know what you must suffer.
But where were you?
Did you go down and see the girl's mother?
For a moment I thought of following you there.
