Just as she had done when a baby she realised that the opposing forces were too strong for her; she gave in gracefully.

It would not do to deal directly in a letter with the matter in hand.

She would write to Leonard merely asking him to see her.

Then, when they were together without fear of interruption, she would tell him her views.
She got as far as 'Dear Mr.Leonard,' when she stood up, saying to herself: 'I shall not be in a hurry.

I must sleep on it before I write!' She took up the novel she had been reading in the afternoon, and read on at it steadily till her bedtime.
That night she did not sleep.
