As
you say, I have nothing to do till the play begins. I have
issued my address, and must leave my name and my fame
to be discussed by the Tankervillians till I make my
appearance among them on the 10th of this month. Of
course, I had heard that Chiltern has the Brake, and I
have heard also that he is doing it uncommonly well. Tell
him that I have hardly seen a hound since the memorable
day on which I pulled him out from under his horse in the
brook at Wissindine. I don't know whether I can ride a
yard now. I will get to you on the 4th, and will remain if
you will keep me till the 9th. If Chiltern can put me up
on anything a little quieter than Bonebreaker, I'll go out
steadily, and see how he does his cubbing. I may, perhaps,
be justified in opining that Bonebreaker has before this
left the establishment. If so I may, perhaps, find myself
up to a little very light work.
Remember me very kindly to him. Does he make a good nurse
with the baby?
Yours, always faithfully,
PHINEAS FINN.
