And Brigit read: "Dear Tony," it ran, in a curious irregular, downward-trending hand, "I've been awfully bad again, or I should have written before.
But extremes meet, and Brigit has none of the British middle-class snobbism. It is well that she should see the people from whom we come. She shall go with us." And she had come.
