but as you yourself demand that my letter should bring you something both cheerful and lengthy, forgive me if, with all respect to your grave ears, I sketch this same reception accorded to our mail-carrier, a reception which will bear comparison with the jests of comedy. I hope thus to convince you that I do not want to look as if introducing a man for the second time and not now knowing him for the first.
