The arrangement made for my sister was one I knew not how to be grateful enough for.

Lady Thesiger insisted that she should go to Harden and remain there until she was well.
"She need know nothing of your misfortune yet.

We have but to say that she must be kept quiet and admit no visitors except such as we can trust to say nothing to her.

Agatha and myself will take the greatest care of her, and when she has recovered we will break the news to her." I was deeply grateful.

It was all arranged without exciting my sister's suspicions.
