Relating the definitive closure of his affair with the barmaid called "Lena," stating that she has "bolted." Musing that she "mus be a most accomplished little liar -- after all it's one of the qualities of her sex," and referencing the "episode" of Noémie Nioche James' The American. Admitting that he has "no heart left for anything not even for a debauch," and did not believe he "could be notched so severely by anything as [he has] by this cursed, ridiculous affair." Apologizing for his "maudlin scrawl," and with a postscript asking Moore to dine.
