John’s Wood. Be so obliging as to keep this fact in your mind, and observe the programme I now propose. Lady Glyde travels to London (a short journey)⁠—I myself meet her at the station⁠—I take her to rest and sleep at my house, which is also the house of her aunt⁠—when she is restored I escort her to the station again⁠—she travels to this place, and her own maid (who is now under your roof) receives her at the carriage-door. Here is comfort consulted⁠—here are the interests of propriety consulted⁠—here is your own duty⁠—duty of hospitality, sympathy, protection, to an unhappy lady in need of all three⁠—smoothed and made easy, from the beginning to the end. I cordially invite you, sir, to second my efforts in the sacred interests of the family. I seriously advise you to write, by my hands, offering the hospitality of your house (and heart), and the hospitality of my house (and heart), to that injured and unfortunate lady whose cause I plead today.”
