He had not been near her for two months. It was barely five minutes' / walk from his house in Bedford Square to her rooms in Montagu / Street, and last year he used to go to see her every week. He did / not need the reminder of her letter, for he had been acutely aware, / through the term that separated them, of the date when he had last / seen her. Still, he was not sure how much longer he might have kept / away if it had not been for the note that told him in two lines that / she had been ill, and that she had -- at last -- something to show him. / He smiled at the childlike secrecy of the announcement. She had / something to show him. Her illness, then, had not impaired her gift, / her charming, inimitable gift.
If she had something to show him he would have to go to her.
