3:15 P.M.
If you desire a scene of some sort , in order to advertise our changed relations to the household , you may call upon me this afternoon at three . You will understand that I do this only to save explanations . A quarrel , you know , ends everything ; is so intelligible and satisfactory ; precludes questions and discourages curiosity . Accordingly , my dear sir , I will quarrel with you at 3:15 P.M. , promptly , and remain , Sincerely your friend , LOUISE JONES . LEIPSIC , March 12 , 187 - . Grover read this enigmatical epistle eleven times without deriving the slightest clue to its meaning . He read it aloud and he read it in silence , he analyzed , scrutinized and apostrophized it , but without avail .
