I was very sorry that your father should
have 'cut up rough,' as you call it, but you must remember
that we both expected that he would refuse, and that
we are only therefore where we thought we should be.
I suppose we shall have to wait till Providence does
something for us,--only, if so, it would be pleasanter to
me to hear your own opinion about it.
The Chilterns are surprised that you shouldn't have come
back, and seen the end of the season. There were some very
good runs just at last;--particularly one on last Monday.
But on Wednesday Trumpeton Wood was again blank, and there
was some row about wires. I can't explain it all; but you
must come, and Lord Chiltern will tell you. I have gone
down to see the horses ever so often;--but I don't care to
go now as you never write to me. They are all three quite
well, and Fan looks as silken and as soft as any lady need
do.
Lady Chiltern has been kinder than I can tell you. I go
up to town with her in May, and shall remain with her
while she is there.
