"Then what have you done? Have you sent a reply?"
"Yes, Miss. No, Miss; I mean, no. That is, I've written the answer, but I haven't posted it."
"That's a good thing. What have you said?"
Susan was silent quite a long time. At length she looked at me plaintively, and answered:
"I've wrote----"
"Written."
"I've written two letters and torn them up again. I think the third one is the best. But somehow, Miss, it doesn't seem quite right. I'm wondering, Miss----"
"Yes."
"I'm wondering whether ... if I brought you his letter, Miss...?"
"Of course I will, Susan. If it's a letter that ought to be answered, I'll do whatever I can. Bring it me after lunch."
