"HORATIO BYSSHE WADDINGTON."
His last letter, a day later, never got as far as its signature.
"DEAR MADAM:
"My decision will not be affected by the contingency you suggest. You are at perfect liberty to say what you like. Nobody will believe you."
"That, I think, is as far as I can go."
"Much too far," said Barbara.
"And that's taking her too seriously."
"Much. You mustn't send that letter."
"Why not?"
"Because it gives you away."
