ps, I often rite to people telling them where I was edducated and highly reckomending you. DEAR LADY AMBLESHAM, Who gives quickly, says the old proverb, gives twice. For this reason I have purposely delayed writing to you, lest I should appear to thank you more than once for the small, cheap, hideous present you sent me on the occasion of my recent wedding.

PS. My husband asks me to tell you to warn Lord Amblesham to keep out of his way or to assume some disguise so complete that he will not be recognised by him and horsewhipped. PPS. I am sending copies of this letter to the principal London and provincial newspapers. But enough! I never thought I should be so strong in this line. I had not foreseen such copiousness and fatal fluency.
