'You won't forget to write to us as soon as you can, Vincent? said Mabel, as they stood in the hall together. 'We shall be thinking of you so often, and wondering what you are doing, and how you are. The hall of a London house is perhaps hardly the place for love-passages there is something fatally ludicrous about a declaration amongst the hats and umbrellas.

For captivity, again, perhaps your poor watch-dog is as sorrowful a type as you will easily find. Mine certainly is. The day is lovely, but I must write this, and cannot go out with him. He is chained in the yard because I do not like dogs in rooms, and the gardener does not like dogs in gardens.
