My Dear Bobbie:
Aunt Alice will be very glad if you can lunch with us on Tuesday at two. We are asking Dick, Julia Crowley, and Canon Spratte. If you can come, and I hope you will, it would be very kind of you to arrive a good deal earlier than the others; I want to talk to you about something.
Yours affectionately,
Lucy.
He answered at once.
My Dear Lucy:
I will come with pleasure. I hope half-past one will suit you.
Your affectionate cousin,
Robert Boulger.
'Why haven't you been to see us?' she said, holding his hand, when at the appointed time he appeared.
'I thought you didn't much want to see me.'
'I'm afraid I was very cruel and unkind to you last time you were here,' she said.
