DIANA HEARS NEWS It seemed as if the night would never end.

If I had been vain, and deserved to be punished for my vanity, then I was well punished now; I felt so ashamed and humiliated.
It must have been long after one when I went to bed, yet I was thankful when dawn came, and gave me an excuse to get up.

After I had had a cold bath, however, I felt better, and a cup of steaming hot coffee afterwards did me good.

I was all dressed when Morton, Aunt Lilian's maid, knocked at my door to ask if I were up, and if she could help me do my hair.

"Her Ladyship" sent me her love, and hoped I had rested nicely.
