TRIMBERS, CHURCH COTTAGE, W INFIELD By Hand 1st September 1905 EDITH DEAR, I have something to tell you which I should have the greatest pain and difficulty in saying in your presence and so I write it instead. This is both cowardly and sensible, like so many actions which look well in biographies and are rewarded in the world. Briefly, my dear child, the time has come for you to leave Winfleld and begin to live your own life. For too long you have been living mine and Doctor Johnsons. But now that the Doctor is edited and finished, and I have no plan in my head for further work, and no inclination to begin again until the spring if then, you must go away and be yourself. We have been very happy but it was a happiness A I LISTENERS LURE that could not last and probably should not I am a middle-aged, crotchety, self-protective bookworm and idler you are young and enterprising and generous, and the world needs you and you need the world. So I am going to steel my heart and do what your father would have wished, which is to find you a post in London. The many other things I could say and perhaps should say in so many words you will find between each sentence of this very slowly written letter. Dont answer it. Just say that you agree and we will begin the campaign. Yours L. H. EDITH GRAHAM TO LYNN HARBERTON By Hand DEAR GARDIE, Your letter does not distress me so much as you feared, because of course I knew it had to be. I knew this was all too happy to last, but I wish you would not say that it perhaps should not last. I shall never agree with you about things like that nothing shall make me meet unhappiness half-way as you do. As you have no more use for me as a secretary I must of course find something to do, just as I should have to if we were not friends. Please do not be unhappy about it, because you will be sure to be interested in something else soon and 2 A TRAP FOR LYDIA MITT begin all over again, and then you will want me again. Wherever I am, you will only have to say you want me, and I shall come. Do let us be happy now, for the little while before we go away. You do not say where you are going or for how long, or what is to become of the Manor House and Mrs. Ring and the servants and Deuce. You will tell me at dinner, wont you Yours E. G. P. S. Dont call yourself middle-aged. Thirty seven is not middle-aged or if it is, twenty-five must be nearly so, and I hate to think that. FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH Wanted at once. Governess for two children. Must be Lady. Music. Quiet refined home. Three servants kept. Apply Mrs. C., Belle Vue, Bed ford. MISS CHARLOTTE FASE, EDITH GRAHAMS A UNT ON THE MOTHERS SIDE, TO EDlfH GRAHAM THE LAURELS GRANGE-OVER-SANDS MY DEAR EDITH, I am not, as you know, given either to asking favours or offering advice, but I should like to oblige 3 LISTENERS LURE my neighbour Mrs...
