Of course your wishes shall be my law, and my wishes will lead me to seek your acquaintance with deep and undisguised interest.

You see the trouble with me is that I have not changed, and it will require a little time for me to adapt myself to the new order of things.

I am now somewhat stunned and paralyzed.

In this imbecile state I am both stupid and selfish.

I ought to congratulate you, and so I do with all the shattered forces of my mind and reason.
