for you that / cannot sleep, though
it is now past one o'clock, so / have
just slipped into my dressing gown
(the white one with the blue silk down
the 'front.' and put on the little white
slippers you always say my feet look
so pretty In, and am going to write you
all that is in my heart
| am sorry let you go away alone,
and yet when | come to think Of it,
sweetheart, don't believe you urged
me very strongly to accompany you.

it because you wanted to have a trip
alone, as in your bachelor days.

/ to-day, not to say vulgar.
He joked me about your being away
! alone, and said he would bet you were
! having roaring old time" in town,
and l am afraid | was rather rude to
him, for told him pretty plainly you
would be utterly lost without me, and
that you were not like some men
know, who could only have a good time
| when away from home.
