Rose Otway ran up to her room and locked the door. She had fled there to read her first love-letter.
"MY DARLING ROSE, -- This is only to tell you that I love you. I / have been writing letters to you in my heart ever since I went / away. But this is the first moment I have been able to put one / down on paper. Father and mother never leave me -- that sounds / absurd, but it's true. If father isn't there, then mother is. / Mother comes into my room after I am in bed, and tucks me up, / just as she used to do when I was a little boy.
