Chapter VI: Part 6

When I returned I found my wife in tears--second crop. She had read the concluding pages of this letter--justified her conduct by the observation that there should be no secrets between husband and wife. She takes exceptions to what I have written you about my proposal. I am finishing this letter down town. I am now going to 'phone Helen to see if I can come home to dinner.

Your Benedict son, Pierrepont.

P.S. You need not consider it necessary to continue your advisory letters to me. I can see that I will receive all the advice I need from Mrs. Pierrepont.
