Another incident - «subject» - related to me by
Lady G.
was that of the eminent London clergyman who
on the Dover - to - Calais steamer, starting
on his wedding tour, picked up
on the
deck a letter addressed to his wife, while she
was below, and finding it to
be from an old lover, and very ardent (an engagement - a rupture, a relation, in short), of which he never had
been told, took the line of sending her, from Paris, straight back to her parents - without having touched her -
on the ground that he had
been deceived.
