Chapter CXXV: Letter 128: To Captain Fitzgerald

Yes, I give permission; you may come this afternoon: there is something amusing enough in your dear nonsense; and, as my father will be at Quebec, I shall want amusement.

It will also furnish a little chat for the misses at Quebec; a _tête à tête_ with a tall Irishman is a subject which cannot escape their sagacity.

Adieu! Yours,
A. F.
