A cablegram to Andermatt. Reply paid. (Money borrowed from Fräulein Müller.)
"Dreamt that you had long black beard. Tell me that not true.—Nancy."
Reply from Andermatt:
"Not true. Come at once."
Nancy did not go at once. She had no money to go with; and, of course, she never intended to go at all.
He wrote: "Will you meet me in Lucerne?" and she replied: "Impossible."
He: "I shall expect you in Interlaken."
She: "Out of the question."
