The two last letters, the ones from Halle and from Wurzburg, reached me after I knew that she was dead. ALICE CHOLMONDELEY, London, May, 1917. The Publishers have considered it best to alter some of the personal names in the following pages. Lutzowstrasse 49, Berlin, Thursday, May 28th, 1914. My blessed little mother,
Whereas an Englishman's idea of slinging slang is to scoop up at random some inoffensive and well-meaning word that never did him any harm and apply it in the place of some other word, to which the first word is not related, even by marriage. And look how they deliberately mispronounce proper names. Everybody knows about Cholmondeley and St. John. But take the Scandinavian word fjord.
Has Madame de Cambis sung to you "Sans dépit, sans légèreté?" Has Lord Cholmondeley delivered my pacquet? I hear I have hopes of Madame d'Olonne. Gout or no gout, I shall be little in town till after Christmas. My elbow makes me bless myself that I am not in Paris.

"Lucy," replied she more softly, "it is a person who makes me miserable sometimes; and I wish she would keep away I don't want her." "But who, Paulina, can it be? You puzzle me much."
