Apologizing for not seeing him at dinner last night at Mary Gladstone's; explaining that Swinburne had come to see him; arranging for him [Ruskin] to come "wander through my work" and meet the "lovely damsel" who is his model; adding in a postscript that "British shyness makes it impossible to speak out one's heart about you face to face--but you do know how you are loved in this house;" adding, at the end of the postscript, a pen-and-ink sketch of two hands clapping.
