Charles Bartholomew Bass,
As to Blair Cornelia, your wish is being taken care of.
There one such complication, Miss Vanderwoodsen wants her to go.
But how can I spare her?
Mr. Humprey was in a very ill humor, and seemed intent only on lessening his acquaintance's displeasure, both present and future, as much as possible.
Upon my word, dear sir, you are in high luck to meet with Ms. Blair in the White Party, if her friend isn't dutifully around.
She has him obligingly, because to have had her join their family dinner-party, and see all their deficiencies would have been dreadful!
Your stepsister has been wondering where hath you being?
Mr. Humprey's arrival made a striking change in her ways.
Under his government, he wishes to seek your sister's hand in marriage.
That my sane sir, is the most scandalous, ill-natured rumor that has just reached me, and I write it in letter immediately, for you to know.
Remember; Say not a word of it; hear nothing.
They're barely adults, Ms. Serena is truly mysterious.
I would do wish you could write back.
Such love you express,
Love and Hugs,
Rumormonger.
