Dear friend,
I do not know your name, but I think these few lines will reach you, which I wrote to thank you for your kindness to me the night I left Weatherbury, in a reckless way.
I also return the money I owe you, which you would excuse my not keeping as a gift.
All has ended well, and I'm happy to say I'm going to be married to the young man who has courted me for some time.
Sergeant Troy, of the 11th Dragoon Guards, now quartered in this town.
He would, I know, object to my having received anything except as a loan, being a man of great respectability and high honour, indeed a nobleman by blood.
I should be much obliged to you if you would keep the contents of this letter a secret for the present, dear friend.
We mean to surprise Weatherbury by coming there soon as husband and wife, though I blush to state it to one nearly a stranger.
The sergeant grew up in Weatherbury.
Thank you again for your kindness.
I am your sincere well-wisher, Fanny Robin.
What have you been doing?
Tending thrashing machine and whilbling hay barns, and saying oosh to the cocks and ends when they go up your seeds, and planting early flower balls and Thompson's wonderfuls with a dibble.
Yes, I see.
Are they satisfactory women?
Has William Smallbury returned?
Who can he have?
Then I shan't see you till then.
Yes.
So am I. And Frank, when will it be?
