"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"


Aff.,
W.
Peter did not read law that morning. But after sitting in his chair for
a couple of hours, looking at the opposite wall, and seeing something
quite different, he took his pen, and without pause, or change of face,
wrote two letters, as follows:
DEAR WATTS:
You hardly surprised me by your letter. I had suspected, both from
your frequent visits to the Shrubberies, and from a way in which
you occasionally spoke of Miss Pierce, that you loved her. After
seeing her, I felt that it was not possible you did not. So I was
quite prepared for your news. You have indeed been fortunate in
winning such a girl. That I wish you every joy and happiness I
need not say.
I think you could have found some other of the fellows better
suited to stand with you, but if you think otherwise, I shall not
fail you.
You will have to tell me about details, clothes, etc. Perhaps you
can suggest a gift that will do? I remember Miss Pierce saying she
was very fond of pearls.
