Mr.H.G.has none of Mr.Derringham's restraint or refinement, and, after M.E.had seen Mr.Derringham and, I presume, returned him his freedom, she had a terrible fit of hysterics, only calmed when Mr.Hanbury-Green entered the room and suggested emptying the water jug over her.

It appears he has a sister who is subject to these attacks, and this is the only method which has any effect upon her.

I suppose in his circle they would have a number of crude remedies which we are unaccustomed to, but it seemed to be the right one for M.E., who pulled herself together at once.
They told me privately that they are engaged, but do not intend to announce it yet, and I believe they are really suited to each other.
I had thought at one time that Mr.Derringham might be equally a mate for her, because of his selfishness, but, after I grew to know him when he was ill, I saw that he was infinitely above her, and not really more selfish than other men--and, as you know, I have extended to him my pity and commiseration ever since.

Your liking of him confirmed my good opinion.

I am to stay on with M.E.as long as I will, because Mr.Hanbury-Green, she says, is not cultivated either, and I may be of use to them both, she thinks, in the future, although she has not imparted this to him.
