LETTER FROM TREVYLYAN TO -- ---.
COBLENTZ.
I AM obliged to you, my dear friend, for your letter; which, indeed, I have not, in the course of our rapid journey, had the leisure, perhaps the heart, to answer before.

But we are staying in this town for some days, and I write now in the early morning, ere any one else in our hotel is awake.

Do not tell me of adventure, of politics, of intrigues; my nature is altered.

I threw down your letter, animated and brilliant as it was, with a sick and revolted heart.
