I admit that I am not wholly disinterested in inviting you. The truth is Tom and I are invited to spend a fortnight with my old schoolmate Alice Wayne who you know is the dearest girl in the world though you DIDN'T obey me and marry her before Frank Wayne appeared. Well we're dying to go for Alice and Frank live in splendid style; but as they haven't included our children in their invitation and have no children of their own we must leave Budge and Toddie at home. I've no doubt they'll be perfectly safe for my girl is a jewel and devoted to the children but I would feel a great deal easier if there was a man in the house. Besides there's the silver and burglars are less likely to break into a house where there's a savage-looking man. (Never mind about thanking me for the compliment.) If YOU'LL only come up my mind will be completely at rest. The children won't give you the slightest trouble; they're the best children in the world - everybody says so
