quibus agnitis serenitas laetitiae meae confestim nubilo superducti maeroris insorduit tantamque mihi bilem nuntii huiusce contrarietas excitavit, ut per plurimos dies illum ipsum hermam stolidissimum venire ante oculos meos inexoratus arcuerim, laturus aegre, si mihi apices aut quoscumque aut quorumcumque non redderet, taceam vestros, qui mihi, dum recti compos animus durat, minime frequentes maxime desiderabiles iudicabuntur.
When I learned this, my sunny joy was instantly overcast by a dark cloud of grief, and the unconscionable conduct of this messenger kindled in me such a raging fury that for several days I inexorably forbade that senseless blockhead to present himself to my sight, for I should have been indignant if he had failed to deliver to me any letters from any persons whatsoever, to say nothing of yours, which, so long as I retain a sense of the fitness of things, will always seem to me as supremely desirable as they are lamentably infrequent.
