Sitting down again, she unearthed from her black-and-silver bag a fountain pen and half a sheet of paper. "Your letter did hurt badly. Perhaps I deserved it. All I can say till we meet, is forgive me, if you can, because of Lance. It's rather odd though you are my lover, and I suppose you do care still I can think of no stronger appeal than that.
