Oc: 27: '92 Darling, I knew you would / make a sign when you had / the time to do it - & welcome / is the one just arrived. / Now it will be lovely to have / you to luncheon here tomorrow, / and in truth I would ra- / ther (since you ask me) / that you should come alone, / for then we shall really / see something of you! But / in truth also I want so / much to see the boys that / I will come to Cadogan Sqre / for that one pur- / pose before Tuesday. / I will hope that no one else / may arrive, and the in half / an hour we shall see more / of each other than in many / weeks of hustling about / in the world. I have so / often wished I could have had / those little days with you / in the Spring which I couldn't - / but perhaps you will ask / me again for such another / chance sometime when I may be able to come. / Dear one, exaggeration / herself must have handed / on the story of the fire in / the farmhouse where Mar- / garet was - for though it cer- / tainly was "on fire", it / was stopped very soon. Yet / Margaret had a taste for a / few minutes of horrified / anxiety which no one can / understand better than you. / Her new baby is a lovely / production - don't you al- / most wonder what a baby is / like now? / I heard of your husband's / illness only after the fact, / & felt for you in a queer / looking backwards kind of way. / I do hope he is quite well again / now. But I shall hear to- / morrow something of how you / have been, done, and suffered. / My dear, it is so sweet to / have your very self coming - / "Sweet to eye while seen." / Your ever loving / G. Burne-Jones.
