In No. 1, Miss Fotheringay presents grateful compliments to Mr.
Pendennis, and in her papa's name and her own begs to thank him for his
most beautiful presents. They will always be kept carefully; and Miss F.
and Captain C. will never forget the delightful evening which they passed
on Tuesday last.
No. 2 said--Dear Sir, we shall have a small quiet party of social friends
at our humble board, next Tuesday evening, at an early tea, when I shall
wear the beautiful scarf which, with its accompanying delightful verses,
I shall ever, ever cherish: and papa bids me say how happy he will be if
you will join 'the feast of reason and the flow of soul' in our festive
little party, as I am sure will be your truly grateful Emily Fotheringay.
No. 3 was somewhat more confidential, and showed that matters had
proceeded rather far. You were odious yesterday night, the letter said.
Why did you not come to the stage-door? Papa could not escort me on
account of his eye; he had an accident, and fell down over a loose carpet
on the stair on Sunday night.
