` Felix ! Oh , what does he say ? ' ` You may see ; ' and she held out a letter , which Alda and Cherry read together , while she rested her elbow on her knee , her brow on her hand , and let fall the tears , which with her were always soft , free , and healthy outlets of emotion , not disabling , but rather relieving . Mrs. Pettigrew 's Lodgings , North Beach , East Ewmouth , 20th July , 10 P.M. MY DEAREST WILMET , What I have heard to-day is a great satisfaction . I had hardly hoped that you could have been brought within the reach of any one so worthy of you . My only fear is that you are too scrupulous and self-sacrificing to contemplate fairly , and without prejudice , what is best for us all . You will imagine yourself blinded by inclination , and not attend to common sense .
