We shall be so long as I let her have her own way; which is what I mean to do.
Your very affectionate father,
JOHN SEVERN.
And Anne answered:
DEAREST DADDY,—I shouldn't dream of reproaching Aunt Adeline any more
than I should reproach a pussycat for catching birds.
Look after her as much as you please—I shall look after Colin.
Whether you like it or not, darling, you can't stop me. And I won't let
Colin go to a nursing home. It would be the worst possible place for
him. Ask Eliot. Besides, he is better.
I'm ever so glad you're going to be happy.
Your loving
