I should probably have reeled off pages of
incoherent abuse.
Show Lillie that your pretended love was not selfishness pure and
simple.
With kind greetings,
Yours sincerely,
ELSIE LINDTNER.
P.S.--I would rather not answer your personal attacks. I could not have
acted differently and I regret nothing.

To-morrow morning I will get rid of that gardener without fail.
An extra month's wages and money for his journey--whatever is
necessary--so long as he goes.
I wish to sleep in peace and to feel sure that my house is safely locked
up, and I cannot sleep a wink so long as I know he comes to see Torp.
That my cook should have a man in does not shock me, but it annoys me.
It makes me think of things I wish to forget.
I seem to hear them laughing and giggling downstairs.
Madness! I could not really hear anything that was going on in the
basement. The birds were restless, because the night is too light to let
them sleep.
