Perhaps I may write to you from England if you will not be disagreeable, and will answer.

I should like to hear the news from Canada and Danton Hall.

Rapturously thine, Rose Stanford.
[Grace Danton to Dr.Danton.] Danton Hall, May 30.
Dear Frank:--"Man proposes--" You know the proverb, which holds good in the case of women too.

I know my prolonged silence must have surprised you; but I have been so worried and anxious, of late, that writing has become an impossibility.

Danton Hall has become a _maison de deuil_--a house of mourning indeed.
