'Florence
my dear child
your poor Papa is peculiar at times; and to question me about him
is to question me upon a subject which I really do not pretend to understand. I believe I have as much influence with your Papa as anybody has. Still
all I can say is
that he has said very little to me; and that I have only seen him once or ice for a minute at a time
and indeed have hardly seen him then
for his room has been dark. I have said to your Papa
"Paul!"—that is the exact expression I used—"Paul! why do you not take something stimulating?" Your Papa's reply has always been

have the goodness to leave me. I want nothing. I am better by myself." If I was to be put upon my oath to-morrow
Lucretia
before a magistrate

Miss Tox expressed her admiration by saying
'My Louisa is ever methodical!'
'In short
Florence

Miss Tox produced one.

proposing that you should visit them for change of scene. Mentioning to your Papa that I thought Miss Tox and myself might now go home (in which he quite agreed)
I inquired if he had any objection to your accepting this invitation. He said
"No
Louisa
not the least!"'
Florence raised her tearful eye.
