But we could not have had her here, without disturbing dear papa in his consulting-room; and, though I could have relinquished my dressing-room he well! so I said in my letter how you were grieved you above all of us, because you are such a friend of Helen's, you know and how you longed to be of use, as I am sure you do and so now they want you to go up directly, for Helen has quite set her heart upon it.
