“Elijah Nisbet, 1st December, 185- 1. May remember we met when locomotive broke down near Leeds. 2. Very kindly suggested might call to see your Turners. 3. Shall be passing through Birmingham en route to London next week. May I accept invitation then? XLV Letter from Walter Hartright to Marian Halcombe,1st December, 185- Limmeridge,Friday My dear Marian, You are a marvel! To have made such astonishing progress, in less than two months! Unfortunately, I shall not be able to return in time for th...e proposed dinner on Monday. I realize this may place you in a difficult situation, and I am sorry for it; but since I had not heard from you for so long (please do not take this as a criticism – I can quite see that it would have been impossible to write, when you have been so occupied), I naturally had no idea of what, if anything, you had discovered, and no inkling that you might have made plans involving me. I have, in consequence, been pursuing my own independent research, which I fear obliges me to stop in Birmingham on my way back to town.MoreLessRead More Read Less
