I suppose I ought to tell you," he added slowly, but as if it were not of much consequence, "that I've known all about it these three days." "About Lord Warburton's state of mind ?" "About his intentions, as they say here.

He wrote me a very pleasant letter, telling me all about them.

Should you like to see his letter ?" the old man obligingly asked.
"Thank you; I don't think I care about that.

But I'm glad he wrote to you; it was right that he should, and he would be certain to do what was right." "Ah well, I guess you do like him!" Mr.Touchett declared.
