No. IV.

From Arthur Vivian to Mrs. Morton.

DEAR MRS. MORTON,—I wired you this morning asking you to do nothing about my umbrella. The fact is I have found it at my rooms, and I am forced to the conclusion that I never took it with me to Dockington at all. I am awfully sorry to have given you all this trouble. It shall be a lesson to me never to take my umbrella anywhere, or rather never to think I've taken it, when, as a matter of fact, I haven't.

Yours always sincerely,

ARTHUR VIVIAN.

Too late. Sent off somebody's umbrella to you yesterday. Please return it to me.
