One of my first thoughts was: how does she dress? Does she know how to
do her hair? Because, you know, most of the girls in our particular set
have the most weird notions as regards hair-dressing and frocks.
However, I can rely on the sureness of your taste, and if your wedding
trip takes you to Paris, she will see excellent models to copy.
Now I understand why your letters got fewer and farther between. How
long has the affair been on hand? Did it begin early in the summer? Or
did you start it in the train between Hoerlsholm and Helsingoer, on your
way to and from the factory? I only ask--you need not really trouble to
answer.
I can see from your letter that you felt some embarrassment, and
blushed when you wrote it. Every word reveals your state of mind; as
though you were obliged to give some account of yourself to me, or were
afraid I should take your news amiss. I have already drunk to your
happiness all by myself in a glass of champagne.
You can tell your young lady, if you like.
