The North of England winds are dreadful - more like Christmas than May. Toole and Brough have succumbed. He will get to town early the week after next. Toole opens at the Surrey from 14th June. If no other engagement comes Irving may join him. The next week he is in Gloucester, Monday; Worcester Tuesday; Leicester Wednesday & Thursday; Gloucester again Friday and at Birmingham Saturday, a monster night with Irving as Robert Macaire and Toole as Jacques Strop. The following Sunday they will meet at Stratford-upon-Avon. He asks her not to be nervous about him. When next they meet he will owe no money. Everything including the insurance is paid and he will have £4 to pay for their marriage. Will Flo tell him when her mother is going to visit his father?... |

He would have called that morning but had to catch the 9 am train. If he can will see her on Friday or Saturday ; if not the fault is not his. Her mother has written to him about the legality of marrying in the name Irving. His solicitor says the licence must be in the name of Brodribb. If they have children he hopes they can be called Irving. He is rehearsing and tired. He must send letters to her mother and [Christopher] Bradshaw with a polite request for the 15th. Toole will be with them. He hopes the day will come when there are no more reproaches from her and misunderstandings from him. On Sunday he thought her manner insurmountably cold. Does she still love him as she did? Answer this. |
