Secret Letters
“I think I answered her, but my voice was muffled by my comforter, and all she heard was “Burrrrrrr?”
“Dora, I am very sorry for what I said.”
“Burr.”
“Dora, please come out. I’ve written to this Porter fellow, and he has agreed to meet us—meet me. But—you will come with me tomorrow when I go? I’m sorry if I hurt you.
I didn’t mean to talk to you like that. Please, Dora, I cannot bear to go through this alone.”
I thought of Peter Cartwright’s impish grin, his piercing eyes, and heard again the s...well of his sudden laughter. He had gotten the best of me in our first meeting. But I had not really been myself that morning. Surely I deserved another chance? I could not leave him laughing at me, could I? Even in the safety of my room the memory of his mocking challenge made me flush, and my throat went tight with anticipation. Forgive me, Dora, and come back. Quickly I pushed the memory of his words away and roughly shoved my pillow to the side.
“All right, Adelaide, I will come along,”MoreLess
