CHAPTER VIII
218/268

Oh Sarianna, I wish we were all together to have a good gossip or groaning, with a laugh at the end!...
Your ever affectionate sister, BA.
* * * * * _To Mrs.Martin_ Florence: November 1854.
My dearest Mrs.Martin,--You make me wait and I make you wait for letters.

It is bad of us both--and remember, _worse of you_, seeing that you left two long letters of mine unanswered for months.

I felt as if I had fallen down an _oubliette_, and I was about to utter the loud shrieks befitting the occasion, when you wrote at last.

Don't treat me so another time; I want to know your plans for the winter, since the winter is upon us.

Next summer, if it pleases God, we shall certainly meet somewhere--say Paris, say London.
