Jane Austen: Lady Susan

5. LADY SUSAN VERNON TO MRS. JOHNSON (continued)

Poor Mainwaring! I need not tell you how much I miss him, how perpetually he is in my thoughts. I found a dismal letter from him on my arrival here, full of complaints of his wife and sister, and lamentations on the cruelty of his fate. I passed off the letter as his wife's, to the Vernons, and when I write to him it must be under cover to you.

Ever yours,

S. VERNON.
