'' `` There was no name signed to it , '' she faltered . `` Just as I thought . Well , you must let me see it . '' `` I can not -- I burned it . '' `` Then tell me what was in it . You must . This matter must be cleared up -- I am not going to have our beautiful friendship spoiled by the malice of some coward . What did that letter say ?

'' `` That would be a catastrophe indeed , '' said Alan drily . `` Well , what else ? '' `` Nothing more -- at least , nothing about you . The rest was about myself -- I did not mind it -- much . But I was so sorry to think that I had done you harm .
It is not too late XXXXX undo it .
