"Should I not have the pleasure of seeing you for some little time, I would beg of you to bear me in your kindly remembrance.--Sincerely yours, "JOHN C. GRAEME." Did it say too much? Would she look upon it as an overstepping of the limits their acquaintance had reached? Did it say enough? Could she possibly overlook the things he would so dearly have liked to say but had left unsaid?
