Avowals

Moore. My dear Goose, how glad I am to see you, and how well timed your visit is, you will acknowledge whew I tell you that five minutes before the door opened I left my writings-you see them all scattered over the table-and came to this fire (which, by the way, isn't wanted on a day like this) to dream of-whom do you think ?-of you, of course, and that two, human beings so different as ourselves should have been friends for forty years.
