Wait for the Dawn
“The day dragged interminably, and she could not wait for the time when she could leave the office and return to her lodgings.
The first thing she saw on entering the hallway of the narrow house in Little Marsh Street was the letter waiting for her on the small table near the looking glass. It had no stamp, but was marked in the top right corner By hand. The handwriting that gave her name and address was unfamiliar.
Upstairs she took off her hat and jacket, sat down in the little worn armchair a...nd opened the envelope. It was from Guy. He had written: Datchet HouseLincoln StreetRedburyMonday 14th July 1890 Dear Lydia, (Or perhaps I should have been a little more formal and addressed you as Miss Halley. Whatever . . . If I am in the wrong, please excuse it and put it down to enthusiasm.) I am writing this soon after getting into the office, and I shall see it delivered to your lodgings later today. I couldn’t wait to say how much I enjoyed meeting you yesterday. Your sister too for that matter, of course, but my first thoughts are of you.MoreLess
