What is the meaning of this silly story that people are circulatingabout Thomasin and Mr. Wildeve? I should call such a scandal humiliatingif there was the least chance of its being true. How could such a grossfalsehood have arisen? It is said that one should go abroad to hear newsof home, and I appear to have done it. Of course I contradict thetale everywhere; but it is very vexing, and I wonder how it could haveoriginated. It is too ridiculous that such a girl as Thomasin could somortify us as to get jilted on the wedding day. What has she done?
