To-day I am able to regard you with feelings of friendliness.

You are the husband of my dear sister, and for years I know that you made her very happy.

I ask you, will you believe in this statement of my attitude towards you ?" "I do not for a single moment doubt it," Mr.Sabin answered.
"You will regard the advice which I am going to offer as disinterested ?" "Certainly!" "Then I offer it to you earnestly, and with my whole heart.

Take the next steamer and go back to America." "And leave Lucille?
Go without making any effort to see her ?" "Yes." Mr.Sabin was for a moment very serious indeed.

The advice given in such a manner was full of forebodings to him.
