C. NOBODY.--If meant, is deeply grieved. If unfortunately the cause of pain, feels hopelessly in the dark, and, therefore, in great anxiety.

FIDES.--(58.62). I have returned to England, and if you should see this in time and will post the documents on Monday next, I shall be obliged, for no doubt a settlement would be facilitated thereby. I shall probably leave again on Tuesday.

1484.--_Tuesday, October 3, 1865._

SETTLED A. . . . REMEMBER PROMISE.

1485.--_Tuesday, October 3, 1865._

THE HEART of STONE.--Why torture the victim longer? Bright prospects shine if you meet at once. Present conduct very suspicious to him who knows all; indicates also desire to delude, and exhibits all the past professions to have been for the same purpose. The “Martyr” can no longer endure such ungenerous, petty insult; it out-Herods all. Address, as before, under cover, to Mr. Pollaky, Private Inquiry-office, 13, Paddington-green, W.

1486.--_Saturday, October 7, 1865._

PICKWICK.--J. G.

1487.--_Thursday, October 12, 1865._

THE HEART of STONE.--Fifteen years of gloomiest depression and long, sad hours of pain and sorrow have made me what I am; but the idol of our mutual affection having now passed into a better life, “Heart of Stone” will relent if “Martyr” with meekness and submission befitting her self-adopted title, consents to the conditions stated in a former communication to Mr. Pollaky, Private Inquiry-office, 13, Paddington-green; until then, no meeting can, or shall take place.

1488.--_Saturday, October 14, 1865._

UNCHANGED for EVER.

1489.--_Saturday, October 14, 1865._

FIDES.--(58.62). My movements have been so uncertain that I could not earlier inform you of my engagements. Meantime I have so arranged with the different parties that your wishes shall be met as completely as possible. I do not think, therefore, that you need come to London on Monday; it will suffice if you send on that day such of the documents as may be ready, and the remainder can follow by the next Thursday’s post.--(222.5) (134.78).

TO JACK’S MASTER.--PEPPER is DEAD.--Dover.

1491.--_Wednesday, October 18, 1865._

MARTYR to HEART of STONE.--I accept all your conditions, with the exception of that part of clause 5 which refers to “Corea.” I have left all the necessary documents with Mr. Pollaky, at 13, Paddington-green, W.

UNCHANGED for EVER.--Uncertainty, repeat with initials of name.

1494.--_Monday, October 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 1865._

FAUST--HARRY.--Oh! come back to me. I am dying. Have pity on my poor tortured heart. They say they cannot oppose now. It rests with you. Oh! come, oh! come, oh! come. Have pity. Let me see you. Oh! let me see you.--Your broken-hearted Marguerite B----.

1495.--_Tuesday, October 24, 1865._

HEART of STONE to “MARTYR.”--After so many years of lacerating agony what are riches to me! and, now that our idol is no more, I do not press further your acceptance of clause 5. Let our meeting take place on the approaching anniversary of an event so indelibly impressed on the memory of us both: and may the solemnity of our reconciliation at the hour of our reunion not be profaned by the faintest suspicion of parsimony. I will communicate to Mr. Pollaky the exact time and place of meeting.

1496.--_Monday, October 30, 1865._

IS the light going to depart without sending one cheering ray to the North? Ungenerous!

1497.--_Wednesday, November 1, 2, 3, 4, 1865._

EVER the SAME.--Remain so. Wait and hope. All promises have been and will be faithfully kept.--Coûte que Coûte.

1498.--_Wednesday, November 8, 1865._

LIGHT of the NORTH! Why ungenerous? I will prove, if possible, to the contrary on Thursday.
