Part 13

WATCHER.--All safe. WRITE, and send the letter. Do not be alarmed, as the object of the writers must be to annoy or intimidate you for some purpose of their own. Their malice here is quite harmless. Above all, make no confidant, nor ask any advice. Be patient, and rely upon me. An unexpected absence has caused this delay. For ever ----.

1237.--_Wednesday, February 26, 1862._

FRED.--All right. I sympathize with your pain, but why seek consolation where you cannot find it, and in a way that pains me? WRITE as usual. Trust ever.

1238.--_Saturday, March 8, 1862._

H. S. S.--RECEIVED your LETTER. Have twice advertised. Utterly useless to accept an engagement. Not much success. Nearly four months. No tidings from my friend. This is the worst trouble. Expenses very heavy. Write soon.

1239.--_Thursday, March 13, 1862._

IT was once bare! Should he have taken it? Is the chance gone?--from WATCHER.

1240.--_Friday, March 14, 1862._

WATCHER.--Your long silence has caused me much suffering. Are you ill? I can hardly think so, as you promised to send for me. I anxiously await some reply.

1241.--_Tuesday, March 25, 1862._

CÆSAR J.--The Pilgrim is much distressed at the long silence of his children. Can they not let him hear through his family. When do they return? He is unchanging. Is he forgotten?

1242.--_Wednesday, March 26, 1862._

FRED.--The dog has always been with me and is still. Save anxiety for your health. I am very happy. Your hopes are mine, and I fervently say amen to them. You are dearer than ever so close.

1243.--_Tuesday, April 1, 1862._

REVELATIONS.--19th chapter, 4th verse. England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland into 24 provinces--Genesis, 1st chapter, 27th verse--to each province of districts, 0 to 9, and guilds 0 to 9, the companies 00 to 09, and 10 to 99, common to both.

1244.--_Tuesday, April 29, 1862._

POUSSE.--RETURN at once. I have squared everything. The maternal has not yet heard. The monoptic will kill the fatted calf. Another day the news will have reached home. Come to dinner at 7 to-night.

1252.--_Friday, May 16, 1862._

THE NONCE’S DREAM.--RETURN, or you will kill your mother. No one yet knows your absence, and I have squared everything. Write for any money you want.--The Monoptic L, and the Artist.

1253.--_Monday, June 2, 1862._

IDA.--Do not act as you propose. It would be madness, and could only end in misery, worse than any you dream of. Be brave; our fate is much of our own making. We send you our blessing.--The Pope.

C. S.--N----y--. Again, or good-bye, &c. E----r E., S.M.C.

A. Z.--“La nuée a crevé sur nous.” J’erre tout seul dans le bois, mais je te trouverai à la fin. Je sais à qui je me fie mille fois mieux que ceux qui ont fait de si vains efforts pour ébranler la confiance que j’ai en toi. Nous ne deviendrons que plus proche de Dieu et plus chers l’un à l’autre par suite de toute cette douleur, et je te prie de n’abandonner jamais ta FAITH.

1270.--_Thursday, October 2, 1862._

A. Z.--Est-ce-que je te deplais en me rendant à ----? Je tâcherai à m’absenter si tu le désires véritablement, mais il faut que tu m’en avertise. Je ne crois pas à la rumeur; elle a dit de toi ce qui ne peut pas être vrai. Quant à moi, crois seulement que j’ai toujours en toi une confiance inébranlable, et que je garde religieusement ma parole. Donne-moi tes prières, j’en ai besoin. Tu as toujours les miennes.

AMAZON.--P.O., Oxford.

A. Z.--Ma Faith ne peut me déplaire; elle est bien bonne de ne pas faire attention à ces histoires; elle sait qu’on ne connait que trop bien l’espérance de ma vie, et veut se venger en la détruisant; mais j’aime ma Faith, et vienne que vienne je l’aimerai pour toujours. Allons donc, pas plus de doutes, le bon Dieu bénira nos volontés, et tout ira bien à la fin.

JE n’oublierai jamais ta Mère.--Ap. 26, 27, 30, 1850. M. 4, 11. Les liens invisible sont les plus sacrés--N. 6. 13. Les enfants me laissent peu de loisir, jamais ne peut-on conter sur un jour de fête, toujours il arrive quelque contretemps; mais, je ne suis pas malade, et, si Dieu permet, j’espère me rendre à W. N. 2nd, passer le dimanche près de mon vieux toit paternal. Je suis fâché qu’une lettre écrite (il y a quelques semaines) dans une langue étrangère vous n’a pas trouvée, car je n’aime pas ce mode d’entretien. Mon amitié ne changera jamais, mais je n’écriverai plus de ce façon.--Ap. 28, N. 6, 13.

1276.--_Thursday, October 23, 1862._

HOPE.--The MISSING ONE is RECEIVED. Your two last darlings have done me good, and I cannot but trust you. My feelings are more intense than ever. Cast away those presentiments of evil that you tell me about, and believe me unchanged. Write as often as you can. My wishes fly to unite with yours.

1277.--_Monday, October 27, 1862._

OFT expectation fails, and most oft there Where most it promises; and oft it hits, When hope is coldest, and despair most sits.

HOPE. I like your last very much. How can you doubt me ? I had written to you, but the party you mention thought better of it, and declined to forward it. I am dying to see you, that we may settle matters. I am better than I was, and look forward to happier days.

A QUIET EVENING and a LITTLE Music.

1293.--_Friday, November 14, 1862._

FIDES (invisible).--All to hand I suppose, indicating initial missing. Thanks. The sleeping partnership affair was known to me some time ago, and I hinted it to your senior, though I could not speak of it. I am glad, though surprised, that you accept it with equanimity. Your liability being limited, however, I hope you will not suffer much, and it cannot be undone now. If you send on Saturday, let it be to same address, I shall be at No. 3 on Monday. Carl has been confined again, but is better: he has received urgent calls from abroad, but he seems as stupidly obstinate as ever he was in his life, and I have little hope of improvement in him. Southampton matters look lively.

BAMBOROUGH--RECEIVED.

1299.--_Monday, December 1, 1862._

NEVER SAY DIE.--All alone in my glory. Try again. Give me the dates of your two last. Change the place.

1300.--_Friday, December 5, 1862._

FELIX.--Limpet must stick fast till 12th January. Springwell continues. I. was right, and Jup’s grumble nonsense. Agreed, “more pain than pleasure” at the gathering. I pray you write T. by 16th. Taking steps. Be firm, true, and God bless you.

1301.--_Friday, December 5, 1862._

A. Z.--Je suis aise de savoir que tu te portes bien. Tout ce qu’on a dit et fait n’a pas ébranlé ma confiance en toi. Les dernières paroles ont pour moi plus de poids que tout ce que personne peut dire on faire. Mon destin est entre tes mains. Je ne manquerai pas à mon vœu.--FAITH.

A. Z.--Je te souhais “bien des retours heureux de ce jour” (tu sais que je le manquerais plus dignement s’il était possible) et “que le nouvel an te soit heureux.” Le vieux a assez de tristes souvenirs pour nous. J’étais à ---- Noël: quel contraste avec celui de l’an 1861! Dieu veuille que l’année qui vient de commencer nous rende tous deux à l’ancien bonheur; je ne doute pas qu’il ne revienne un jour si nous continuons à mettre notre confiance en Dieu, et à avoir foi l’un à l’autre.--2 Cor. vii., 16. FAITH.

1306.--_Monday, January 5, 1863._

NIL DESPERANDUM.--Pray WRITE immediately, and tell me what H--r said, and what you answered or promised. You tell me nothing. What you ask is impossible. I told you I could not come again in the way you propose. If you wish it as much as I do, it must be the old plan. Write. I am worse than you are. Settle something. What a bore hats are.

1307.--_Thursday, January 8, 1863._

SMALL HOUSE--Danger. Cross the sea.

1308.--_Friday, January 9, 1863._

NIL DESPERANDUM.--If your feelings are what you describe, why do you not WRITE oftener or arrange something? What must mine be? Do next Monday what you did last Monday. A happy new year to you! It rests with yourself.

1309.--_Friday, January 16, 1863._

NIL DESPERANDUM.--Thank you. How can you think they bore me? I will be there according to your appointment, but hope to see you before if possible.

A. Z.--J’aime à croire que nous avons tous deux les mêmes “Stunden der Andacht” (dans plus d’un sens). Sans des anticipations de jours plus heureux à l’avenir, ma vie, maintenant solitaire et ennuyante, serait tout-à-fait misérable. Je puis attendre sans promesse, mais non pas sans espoir; je puis rester sans assurance, mais point sans--FAITH.

X. X. X.--Wednesday.

1317.--_Monday, March 2, 1863._

YOUR ROOM.--It is as I told you, it would be the night I last saw you. Too sad; too unhappy; too wretched. Each day, if possible, worse than the last. If I dared I wish all were over. I would give up all and everything for eau de Cologne once more. February 9th. Look again May 1st. Take care of yourself dear A.

1318.--_Thursday, March 5, 1863._

A. Z.--J’ai reçu les trois PORTRAITS, C. d. V. Tu t’amuseras un jour, au récit des détails. (Que c’est bon de la part des enfants!) Le tien m’a mis en état de finir un portrait à trois-quarts de la grandeur naturelle qui a été quelques mois en état de progrès. Tu sais à cause de qui je me rende si rarement à ----. Je me trouve forcé de m’y rendre quelquefois. Je souhais que cette année triste et ennuyeuse se passe. Les souvenirs du passé me défendent d’être autre que plein d’espérance joyeuse pour l’avenir. A parler humainement, notre destin est sous ta garde; et je suis content, en confiance affectionnée, de la laisser là. Que Dieu te bénisse!--FAITH.

1319.--_Tuesday, March 10, 1863._

INFELIX.--With mingled fear and hope. T. beseeches Bird to remember promises for future conduct, so lately made. WRITE how Limpet’s health is. Springwell forwards. List 3 is done. Take care! Be true and steadfast, and may God bless you!--T.

1320.--_Thursday, March 19, 1863._

INFELIX.--Why is Inf. of 10th neglected? Yesterday was remembered. Account of Limpet’s state and doings earnestly desired. Springwell continues. T. not quite well. Tell Bird to go to H. V. when asked. Remember 21st, and please attend to this.

A. Z.--J’ai une belle nouvelle pour toi. Un second paquet est arrivé; on a tâché de faire croire que tu l’avais envoyé, mais on ne nous a pas trompé comme ça. Il les embarrasse sans cesse, que de garder ton secret comme tu le fais. Cela ne réussirait fas s’ils te comprenaient aussi bien que moi. J’essayerai de te voir bientôt, car je veux te consulter sur le projet d’aller à----l’été prochain, et sur d’autres affaires plus importantes. Quelques efforts qu’ils fassent, ils n’ébranleront point la foi que je mets en toi. Fais que je sache quand tu vas aller au bord de la mer. Que Dieu te bénisse.--FAITH.

1324.--_Tuesday, April 14, 1863._

TURF.--If you respect my opinion keep away from him. In London I hear no good. Delicacy must not prevent you communicating exact details. I will not reproach, but assist you. Your misery is mine. Did you get books? He must be there if I am. Select.

1325.--_Thursday, April 16, 1863._

A. Z.--Je vais expliquer l’omission du mois passé quand l’occasion s’offria. J’ai été encore une fois à P----h! Le serment de ce jour là reste, et restera à jamais inviolable. J’entends d’étranges rumeurs, mais je sais qu’elles ne peuvent pas être vraies. Je rejette tout ce qui ne s’accorde pas avec tes derniers mots. Je viens de constater une circonstance toute particulière, qui fait abondamment voir ton désaveu de certains procedés recent; si même j’en avais jamais douté. Quelles que soient les rumeurs qui te viennent, crois seulement à ma confiance et ma fidélité inébranlables.--FAITH.

1332.--_Friday, June 12, 1863._

Z.--The old doctrine of “being within the four seas” would not affect the final issue of the case.--POLLAKY.

1333.--_Friday, June 12, 1863._

TURF.--A month has passed since we met. The photograph not sent, or letter received. To neglect a sincere friend is foolish and unkind. Write explicitly. I hate uncertainty. Are we to meet again?

1334.--_Thursday, June 18, 1863._

Z.--Just soon enough to be too late; with a secret which is no secret after all.--POLLAKY.

1340.--_Thursday, August 6, 1863._

ALFRED.--COME, oh, come. I beseech a last interview. Remember the 25th. Although I am bound in honour and in justice to myself to give all up then, yet I am willing to make the sacrifice, and will hand you the greatest number. I desire to spare, if not your feelings, at least those of some one else.

1341.--_Thursday, August 13, 1863._

VIOLET TOKEN!--Your conduct was most unaccountable, and towards “----” most unjust. Your letters await only your honourable explanation being given to him. He’s waited long, patiently, and at great loss. WRITE to him immediately, with confidential explanations, by post--fear not. Or write, as formerly, through those who passed your many previous letters. Act on this advice honourably, and without delay. All shall end as you wish. Pocket-book, with portraits.

1342.--_Friday, August 14, 1863._

TURF.--WRITE. It is long since I heard from you. Since we met last I have had much trouble. When can we meet again? Brighton this autumn?

1343.--_Tuesday, August 25, 1863._

SAINT SWITHIN is so very sorry! Was the paragraph intended for him?

FRANKFORT MINE. One blank. One prize. One month, Treasure. Been to sea.

1349.--_Thursday, October 1, 1863._

TURF.--Why so long silent? No reply to last advertisement. Where can we meet? My time is not at my own disposal, or I would long ago have seen you.

1350.--_Wednesday, October 7, 1863._

PHILIP. i. 3. June 13th, 1863--“Aimée pour soi-même, aimée malgré soi-même.” V. H. LM II. 68. Voilà une conviction qui s’établit difficilement dans le cœur, ou que l’ennemi du genre humain s’occupe sournoisement à dénouer les cordes qui nous enchainent l’un à l’autre, à nous soustraire à ces communions légitimes et benies, avant-couriers d’une heureuse éternité. Complice dans le passé de ce pouvoir ténébreux, tremblante à ce moment-ci, fidèle maintenant et à jamais, détourne de moi les maux que j’ai mérités très justement, car mon âme est à genoux.--SUPPLICATION.
