I realize my brooch is still in your pocket, and, in effect, will let you know every time I want it.
I shall be unable to get off rehearsal on Wed 14th owing to the proximity of the actual performance on that date.
However, let it not be thought that I am oblivious to the great honour you intended to bestow up on me. I am deeply grateful - but the knowledge therefore that the expenditure thus saved
- I also regret Tuesday 13th, but as we have also arranged a Shrove party here that day - personal disappointment is avoided.
I prefer to exhibit my unimpeachable facial beauty in person - perhaps from a feeling that no artist can do justice to it.
My condition has so far improved on the receiving of your letter that I feel the "powders" to be unnecessary as yet - but I will immediately notify you of any relapse.
Your subtle discovery about Peter Standish is highly commendable - it hadn't struck me either.
- I feel that the time while the Staff Manager is at lunch might be more profitably employed - from the point of view of "progress" - but doubtless a day of casement cloth and cretonne needs a little light alleviation.
In case I am not favoured with your company before the wedding, allow me to wish you unqualified success in all arrangements - and Eileen every happiness.
Yours respectively
Mary P Ormiston
P.S. have "Hearse" and "Rehearsal" any connection?
