Atlas, my dear! -
I greet you because you have spoken. Did you know this Child[4] - Theodore? Forgive! It is late, though, now, and what is done, is done - and well done, as well you know. I fear me not all the cold cream of the chemist, nor all the glycerine of your sympathy, can undo it.
Forget! old friend - and let us be merry!
