Let me see — ay, that's very true: so I had — I had once | |||
<lb/> | |||
upon a time an animal belonging to me they called a Brother. | |||
<lb/> | |||
It used to go upon two legs, and now and then write | |||
<lb/> | |||
letters — <del>I should</del> Is it alive, I wonder, or dead? I should | |||
<lb/> | |||
like, <add>methinks</add> for the joke's sake to know what is become of it. | |||
<lb/> | |||
Alas! my dear Sam - for all this nonsense, I am by | |||
<lb/> | |||
no means in a joking humour. I am as melancholy | |||
<lb/> | |||
as ten church mice. Here have I for more than this | |||
<lb/> | |||
week past been dancing attendance upon a little ...... | |||
<lb/> | |||
(what shall I call her?) my hopes growing every day less | |||
<lb/> | |||
and less. On Monday <sic>sennight</sic> I came to town to write | |||
<lb/> | |||
her a letter: and a letter I did write her on Tuesday | |||
<lb/> | |||
and Wednesday an enormous long one. The English of it was | |||
<lb/> | |||
in the first place to desire her not to stay long in the | |||
<lb/> | |||
next place to appoint time and place for me to meet | |||
<lb/> | |||
her. It is now Wednesday and in all this time not a | |||
<lb/> | |||
syllable have I heard from the little vixen. On Monday | |||
<lb/> | |||
last I wrote her another by way of reinforcement to the | |||
<lb/> | |||
first. | |||
