Phineas Finn Returns to London Phineas had received two letters during his recess at Killaloe from two women who admired him much, which, as they were both short, shall be submitted to the reader.

The first was as follows:-- Saulsby, October 20, 186--.
MY DEAR MR.

FINN, I write a line to tell you that our marriage is to be hurried on as quickly as possible.

Mr.Kennedy does not like to be absent from Parliament; nor will he be content to postpone the ceremony till the session be over.

The day fixed is the 3rd of December, and we then go at once to Rome, and intend to be back in London by the opening of Parliament.
Yours most sincerely, LAURA STANDISH.
Our London address will be No.
