S.L. R.—The event you expect may be long delayed. It is quite vain to wait. If you arrange now, you can save yourself and help me. Neglect this, and I shall go into seclusion immediately. All will then be over. Communicate as before, or through the Times, to E. C.
M.N.—Truly sincerely loved. Affliction brings love in its truest form. Hope reigns strong.—Q. by A.
INFELIX FELIX.—The EASTER OFFERING was RECEIVED, and greatly valued. Although most unfounded and unkind, J’s mammonish opinion of T. matters not, save for its effect on you. Business progresses fairly. Be trustful, and doubt not that matters will surely come right. Arrange with Ce. in three or four weeks if possible. Ch. has parcel for Bird.

SETTLED A. . . . REMEMBER PROMISE.
THE HEART of STONE.—Why torture the victim longer? Bright prospects shine if you meet at once. Present conduct very suspicious to him who knows all; indicates also desire to delude, and exhibits all the past professions to have been for the same purpose. The “Martyr” can no longer endure such ungenerous, petty insult; it out-Herods all. Address, as before, under cover, to Mr. Pollaky, Private Inquiry-office, 13, Paddington-green, W.
PICKWICK.—J. G.
THE HEART of STONE.—Fifteen years of gloomiest depression and long, sad hours of pain and sorrow have made me what I am; but the idol of our mutual affection having now passed into a better life, “Heart of Stone” will relent if “Martyr” with meekness and submission befitting her self-adopted title, consents to the conditions stated in a former communication to Mr. Pollaky, Private Inquiry-office, 13, Paddington-green; until then, no meeting can, or shall take place.
UNCHANGED for EVER.
FIDES.—(58.62). My movements have been so uncertain that I could not earlier inform you of my engagements. Meantime I have so arranged with the different parties that your wishes shall be met as completely as possible. I do not think, therefore, that you need come to London on Monday; it will suffice if you send on that day such of the documents as may be ready, and the remainder can follow by the next Thursday’s post.—(222.5) (134.78).
TO JACK’S MASTER.—PEPPER is DEAD.—Dover.
MARTYR to HEART of STONE.—I accept all your conditions, with the exception of that part of clause 5 which refers to “Corea.” I have left all the necessary documents with Mr. Pollaky, at 13, Paddington-green, W.
MARGUERITE à FAUST.—I am dying with grief. Oh! come back to me, oh! come back to me. We cannot be separated. Oh! come back to me.—Marguerite.—Oct. 18.
UNCHANGED for EVER.—Uncertainty, repeat with initials of name.
FAUST—HARRY.—Oh! come back to me. I am dying. Have pity on my poor tortured heart. They say they cannot oppose now. It rests with you. Oh! come, oh! come, oh! come. Have pity. Let me see you. Oh! let me see you.—Your broken-hearted Marguerite B——.
HEART of STONE to “MARTYR.”—After so many years of lacerating agony what are riches to me! and, now that our idol is no more, I do not press further your acceptance of clause 5. Let our meeting take place on the approaching anniversary of an event so indelibly impressed on the memory of us both: and may the solemnity of our reconciliation at the hour of our reunion not be profaned by the faintest suspicion of parsimony. I will communicate to Mr. Pollaky the exact time and place of meeting.
IS the light going to depart without sending one cheering ray to the North? Ungenerous!
EVER the SAME.—Remain so. Wait and hope. All promises have been and will be faithfully kept.—Coûte que Coûte.
LIGHT of the NORTH! Why ungenerous? I will prove, if possible, to the contrary on Thursday.

If this should be seen in time please send me necessary particulars, so as to reach me at latest on Friday morning, as I leave London on that day.

YOU LUCKY DOG! You always had your money’s. worth in your mother’s diary. “When a little farm you keep,” have a “concert of music,” but not with all the instruments combined, as at your departure, the details of which were known a week after you wrote to us. You well know how loved you must ever be by us. Daily we watch for a line, saying you are well and happy, praying God to bless and preserve you.
CROSS.—All burnt. Happy. Trust tremendously—(signed) ST. ASAPH.
WITHOUT YOU there can be neither; but faith and hope are still of good courage.
EVER THE SAME.
H.to W.—British.—“Star,” “Economist.”
TO the CARPENTER.—Charity which never faileth, can pardon imposition if undisguisedly confess’d. Jan. 3rd.
CROSS.—Did you get letter safe? Write. Be firm, and don’t forget or give him up. Absence is hard to bear. Remember the dog days. “Toujours fidèle.” Nothing could ever change St. Asaph.
EMPEREUR suffers patiently, but bides his time. Difficulties were made to be overcome; so cheer up; get well, and right will overcome might.
COÛTE QUE COÛTE.
A.L.—The MAN at the Nore.
CROSS.—Steady. Steady. N’oubliez pas. Great confidence since last interview. Say “Trivet” to St. A.
CROSS.—Have been round once. Dine at R. with M. to-day (Friday).—St. A.
ECCENTRICITY.—Thanks. All safe. Answered same day. Will do all you ask. Shan’t write at present without further orders. Can’t find any that wash, but several that require heat. Hope you will not lose your senses again until next year. I hope not to. Write soon. So dreary. True as steel. Feb. 8th.
SECRET.—“Our Corner.”—“11th March, 1863.” Old letters and old reminiscences bring you back; why drive me to the life I lead? Why have made me spend such a miserable month, when the present and future are entirely yours?—“SECRET.”
FELIX.—THANKS. Why the gap and different tone between the sittings? Jup’s speech to Ch. was strange. Mem. . E. & Co’s remarks. Prospects improve, needing only B—ie’s cheering trust. Stamps naughty. Please write; T. waits details which affection and duty dictate. Letters forwarded.
SEMPER VIGILANS. No. 1.
COÛTE QUE COUTE.
TO *******.—“Bless, and curse not.”
AAN THEODOR G.—Van uw vertrek weet nag niemand. Uwe bedrocfde onders en uw vriend verzocken u dringend terugtekomen, alles is dan geschikt. Zoo gy niet wilt geef dan ten minste een adres op waar men u een brief Ran zenden.
FELIX.—Was notice of 26th Feb. seen? Write soon, or when next at Nat. as seems best. Remember 18th and Easter Union. T. waits news from B—ie anxiously. No sign even on Jun’s last. God bless you.
THE TWIN LOCKETS.
FAITHFUL and TRUE.—“Absence makes the heart grow fond.” “Out of sight, out of mind.” Which?
EMPEROR longs to have some NEWS, and an address where you can safely receive a letter. Hope on, hope ever. To the brave and faithful nothing is difficult.
H.P. WISHES.
CROSS.—He feels so lonely. He misses 12. so, and thinks of nothing but ÷÷. Be firm and stanch, and let nothing turn aside. For God’s sake be steady and true. All will come right.—St. Asaph.
CROSS.—May I not write? Don’t quite forget ÷÷. It maybe hard to remember the 11th this week, but do try. Toujours fidèle. Don’t change.—St. A.
FELIX.—Welcome, though short and cold; burn not, but forward all. Where all interests, all is news. Silence kept T. sorrowful from Nat. Send parcel by E. & Co., and please complete chron. tab. Old and dear ties forbid destroying all, but weeding shall have care. Note all that passes. Glad B—ie is well, and God bless you.
BIRDIE MIA is going home to snowdrop daily.
FAITHFUL and TRUE.—“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.”—H.
FAITHFUL and TRUE.—Did you receive it? Better.
FAITHFUL and TRUE.—Man proposes, but God disposes. Trust and hope. I’ll pray for thee.
CAVE.—Had note next morning. Away “for the present.” Interview afterwards. Reply—“Oh, nothing.” All yours to hand. Semper idem.

HOPING in vain month after month makes the heart sad and weary. Could I but know the end of all this ceaseless care and anxiety for one whom it has been my misfortune to know but too well. True as ever.
TELEMACHA! Telemacha.
THE BLUE RIBAND that “had been worn.” Filled with anxiety. Pray WRITE a single line.—Trust me.
REGRET.
DO you not scorn me? If I but knew the course to pursue for the best, I might dare allow myself to reflect.

FELIX.—Mrs. F. safe, prays detail of doings and return; leaves Tre soon for busy poorly O, then visits till springs. On B——ie the future rests, if true and firm ’twill do. M. and Ce were sunlight, parcel at Frau’s; write 2 and Co. occasionally; enjoy, be good, and God bless you. All well; thanks.—Sept. 7.
CROSS.—Thousand thanks for letter. Awfully pleased and delighted to get it. Don’t like the idea of the trip to L. on Tuesday at all. Hope it won’t be as un. T. as the last time, when you were unkind. Wish you to stop quiet where you are, and rest from your labours. Is the surveillance very strict? Is P. O. under old man’s thumb and dangerous? I’m not sure of being there on 26th. I think Trees might be managed; it would be a great comfort. Don’t give up; in case of going to L. be firm and write. Yours till death, MAGPIE.
OF what avail is it to say there is neither change nor uncertainty, and yet make no sacrifice to prove it by endeavouring to put an end to mutual unhappiness? Time is fleeting.—M.
