"There, there, darling!"
She was quiet now.
"In a few minutes we would have had the whole hotel breaking in at the door ... thinking I was killing you."
She woke up again, and woke me up.
"Johnnie, find me some ink and a pen. I'm going to write that cad a letter that will shrivel him up like acid."
"Can't you wait till morning, Hildreth?" sleepily.
"No ... I must write it now."
I dressed. I went down to the hotel writing-room and came back with pen and ink.
She sat up in bed and wrote the letter. She then read it aloud to me. She was immensely pleased with her effort.
