this town, but I don't anticipate it joyously. Such scenes are more or less disgusting to such a self-contained undemonstrative person as I. Your picture is right here by me! I just kissed it, but loud. It didn't betray any tiniest change of expression whatever. Not like you, belovedest, not like you. Last night I showed old Dr. Yates your picture so he could see what a handsome man really looks like. He looks like a frog, and talks like one too. He said, "Oh, so this is the man, is it?" And when he saw how handsome you were he punched me in the stomach and said, "Tender here?" Trixie was just here and rubbed my head for me, and now I'd better stop because I'm beginning to perspire. Best of all I love you, and I kiss you four hundred times. Always your own Wif.
