S. M. U.--You little rogue, did you keep me waiting so long on Friday
night and then not come, to punish me for the previous evening? I waited
an hour, and then returned to the Viper’s, but of course did not go in.
Why, too, did you not come on Saturday? You know full well how I wanted
to see you. Do write to S. M. J., and never doubt the continuance of
affection and sweet remembrance of past happy days that still afford him
happy reflection.

T.--L’Ambassadeur pour la Russie n’est pas nommé. Les nouvelles de la
capital sont désolantes. Je suis dévoué à la même cause comme
auparavant. Barcelona est encore une fois tranquille.--B.
772.--_Monday, November 3, 1856._
NO. 11.--Many thanks for the box: the effect is wonderful. What a
splendid day for your trip. All but my heart was gay. L. has returned;
sends love to A. Why does not she write?
773.--_Monday, November 3, 1856._
T.--Zarco delle Valle est mentionné pour l’Ambassade. On dit aussi du
Baron del U., homme ferme, mais très lourd et retiré, et mal assorti
pour la diplomatique. On me demande une dépêche générale, mais à présent
je n’ai point de détails. Tandis que je pleurs le passé pour mon pays,
je regarde devant moi avec l’espérance.--B.

M. W. H.--Put an end to all this misery and suffering. It was useless to
send W. G. to Brixton. Think of D. H., and drop the man, who, muffled up
and disguised, put her into the railway for London, on the evening of
Monday last, and returned to O. C. You cannot deceive or escape
me.--London, November 1.
775.--_Tuesday, November 4, 1856._
M. W. H.--On the 1st of October a young widow and a little boy left
Windsor, and were put down safely at No. 5, M. S. You see I know all. I
knew it next day. You cannot deceive me. Abandon this course, and send
M. to me, at E. H. H. London, then we will go to Scotland, for my
health.--Brixton, Nov. 3.
776.--_Tuesday, November 4, 1856._
E. is well and unchanged, and has not forgotten A., and never, never
will forget his nearest relative. Thanks for wit. The plan of A. was
admirable, and will be carried out. The letter was too long on the
voyage from England; its wishes were quickly complied with, but their
aim was frustrated by a fatality. E. would do that which he said he
would do for A. Never doubt of E.; he will see A., and soon, before he
joins his ship. Write.
777.--_Tuesday, November 4, 1856._
I.--Le chemin de fer d’Almanza s’avance qu’avec lenteur. Quelque
nouvelle lumière se lève aujourd’hui sur le cours de la politique
passée. Je suive votre cause. Je comprends toujours que trop lentement,
et je ne connais pas les détails de cette affaire de Saragoza.--B.
778.--_Wednesday, November 5, 1856._
I.--Mes nouvelles de Madrid sont désolantes. Les journaux sont saisis.
Le monde me semble plein de soupçon et malentendu, qu’empêchent
malheureusement et inutilement le cours des affaires.--B.
779.--_Wednesday, November 5, 1856._
