My dear Mr. Locker
It is always a real pleasure to me to see you, and we shall be very glad to make Mrs. Locker's acquaintance. 205 But at present I find a difficulty in making any appointment for a weekday. Sunday is the only day on which I can promise to be at home. I will hope that we may have the benefit of an exception to Mrs. Locker's rule. We belong entirely to our friends from 'bd past 2 till 6 on a Sunday.
I am grieved to hear that gentle Mrs. Tennyson is an invalid. 206 She must be very precious to both husband and sons.
With our united best remembrances, I am always
Sincerely yours
M. E. Lewes.
