We are to have a lot of people to dinner to-night, and Winifred's lying down. I've been sitting in the train for a week, it seems to me. Wilson stood before the fire with his hands behind him and looked about the room. You HAVE been busy. Bartley, if I'd had my choice of all possible places in which to spend Christmas, your house would certainly be the place I'd have chosen.
Happy people do a great deal for their friends.
A house like this throws its warmth out. I felt it distinctly as I was coming through the Berkshires. I could scarcely believe that I was to see Mrs. Bartley again so soon. She'll be as glad to see you. I'll ring for Thomas to clear away this litter.
