BROSNA I made several attempts at the letter, and discarded them all.

And at last, lest I should be interrupted and the letter never be written, I wrote in a great hurry.
"Dear Captain Cardew, "I hope this letter will reach you safely, so that in the days to come you will not misjudge me.

You wrote to me that you were giving me up to my cousin.

That you could not do, for I loved only you, and did from the hour I first laid eyes on you, and shall for ever.
But, loving you, I am going to marry Richard Dawson, the money-lender's son.

And I must tell you, lest you should misjudge me, and all women for my sake, that I shall marry him most unwillingly.
