I reckon to reach there in six
weeks or two months from now. You might perhaps be willing to write a
line to me there--to the care of my owners, Messrs. Denniver, Holland
& Co. Their office is in the Cannebiere. I don't ask you to do this,
but only tell you I should value it more than you can quite

drunk as lords.--God bless you. In spirit I once again kiss your dear
feet. Your brother till death and after.

sitting child-like upon the bare polished floor, while the wind murmured
through the spreading pines, shading the terrace below, and gently fanned
her throat and temples.
