ACE of HEARTS.--“Seek, and ye shall find.” Same address--WRITE.
1483.--_Friday, September 29, 1865._
FIDES.--(58.62). I have returned to England, and if you should see this
in time and will post the documents on Monday next, I shall be obliged,
for no doubt a settlement would be facilitated thereby. I shall probably
leave again on Tuesday.
1484.--_Tuesday, October 3, 1865._
SETTLED A. . . . REMEMBER PROMISE.
1485.--_Tuesday, October 3, 1865._
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.
1486.--_Saturday, October 7, 1865._
PICKWICK.--J. G.
1487.--_Thursday, October 12, 1865._
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.
1488.--_Saturday, October 14, 1865._
UNCHANGED for EVER.
1489.--_Saturday, October 14, 1865._
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).
1490.--_Monday, October 16, 19, 1865._
TO JACK’S MASTER.--PEPPER is DEAD.--Dover.
1491.--_Wednesday, October 18, 1865._
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.
1492.--_Friday, October 20, 21, 1865._
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.
1493.--_Monday, October 23, 1865._
UNCHANGED for EVER.--Uncertainty, repeat with initials of name.
1494.--_Monday, October 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 1865._
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----.
1495.--_Tuesday, October 24, 1865._
