My darling! My own Margot! I--need not--have feared.

There is nothing to fear, dearest uncle. Fear must have been done with years ago, when--when--it happened. Now, now, it is time for hope, for confidence.

You will let it make no difference in your love, your loyalty to him, when--when he comes? If he lives to come?

If he had been a father who did not come because he would not, then, maybe, I don't know. But a father who could not come, who has been so cruelly, frightfully wronged--why, uncle! all my life, no matter how long, all my care and devotion, no matter how great, will never, never be able to express one-half of my love. And I bless you more for your faithfulness to him than for all you've ever done for me--yet even my debt to you is boundless.

My own impulsive, overgrateful Margot! As if it had not been also all my life, my happiness. Well, since I cannot go, you must write to him. For me and for yourself. Explaining why I cannot come, just yet, but that I will as soon as may be. Make it a letter such as you have talked just now and it will be better to his hungry heart than even a sight of his old friend and brother.

I will write as many letters for you as you please, but--I will deliver them in person.
