I believe that if he saw me
I could win him over. Otherwise I am very happy indeed. We are married
and live in two little rooms just off Baker Street. You don't know
where that is, do you? Well, it's a very good place to be, near the
park, and lots of good shops and not very expensive. Our landlady is a
jolly woman, as kind as anything, and I'm getting quite enough work to
keep the wolf from the door. I know more than ever now that I've done
the right thing, and father will recognise it, too, one day. How is
he? Of course my going like that was a great shock to him, but it was
the only way to do it. When you write tell me about his health. He
didn't seem so well just before I left. Now, Joan, write and tell me
everything. One thing is that he's got so much to do that he won't
have much time to think about me.--Your affectionate brother,
FALK.
This letter, which had arrived that morning, had given Joan a great deal
to think about. It had touched her very deeply. Until now Falk had never
shown that he had thought about her at all, and now here he was depending
on her and needing her help.
