My Dearest Mr. Gladstone,

I can not begin to explain how completely and divinely happy your letter has made me. I feel as if I could float away from the very ground if there were nothing to hold on to me. The first dance would not be enough for me, I would wish to spend the entirely of my dances wrapped in your adoring embrace, knowing it is you who is holding me.

Tomorrow, indeed today, would not be soon enough to end this divide of space between us. Alas, my mother is ill and I am unable to come to your side today. If I were you need only name a place and a time and I shall wait for you at the world's end if I must for I know, you, my knight in shining armor, would arrive to me.

With all my love,
Miss Lucille Flint
