the house at Little Bookham is six miles from the nearest railroad, and
a mile and a half from Leatherhead where a coach runs. Now you are to
judge. Certainly if I go with you on Saturday I shall not have half the
letters written—you, who talk so largely of epic poems, have not the
least imagination of my state of mind and spirits. I began to write a
letter to Papa this morning, and could do nothing but cry, and looked
so pale thereupon, that everybody wondered what could be the matter.
Oh—quite well I am now, and I only speak of myself in that way to show
you how the inspiration is by no means sufficient for epic poems. Still,
I may certainly write the necessary letters, ... and do the others on
the road ... could I, do you think? I would rather have waited—indeed
rather—only it may be difficult to leave Bookham ... yet _possible_—so
tell me what you would have me do.
Wilson and I have a light box and a carpet bag between us—and I will be
docile about the books, dearest. Do you take a desk? Had I better not, I
wonder?
Then for box and carpet bag.... Remember that we cannot take them out of
the house with us. We must send them the evening before—Friday evening,
if we went on Saturday ... and where? Have you a friend anywhere, to
whose house they might be sent, or could they go direct to the railroad
office—and what office? In that case they should have your name on them,
should they not?
Now think for me, ever dearest—and tell me what you do not tell me ...
that you continue better. Ah no—you are ill again—or you would not wait
to be told to tell me. And the dear, dear little _bud_!—I shall keep it
to the end of my life, if you love me so long, ... or _not_, sir! I thank
you, dearest.
Your mother!—I am very, very sorry. Would it be better and kinder to wait
on _her_ account?—tell me that too.
Yes, they are perfectly kind. We must love them well:—and _I_ shall, I am
sure.
Mr. Kenyon sends the ‘Fawn,’ _which IS Landor’s Fawn_, and desires me to
send it to you when I have done with it. As if I could read a word! He
directs me to write to him to Taunton, Somersetshire. May God bless you,
beloved.
No more to-night from your very own
BA.
Are not passengers allowed to carry a specific proportion of luggage?
What do you mean then, by paying for every ounce? As to Dieppe, the
diligence would be more fatiguing than the river, and, without strong
reasons, one would prefer of course the Havre plan. Still I am not afraid
of either. Think.
You might put in the newspaper ... of Wimpole Street and Jamaica, or
... and Cinnamon Hill, Jamaica. That is right and I thought of it at
first—only stopped ... seeming to wish to have as little about poor Papa
as possible. Do as you think best now.
_R.B. to E.B.B._
[Post-mark, September 17, 1846.]
My only sweetest, I will write just a word to catch the earlier
post,—time pressing. Bless you for all you suffer ... I _know_ it though
it would be very needless to call your attention to the difficulties. I
know much, if not all, and can only love and admire you,—not help, alas!
Surely these difficulties will multiply, if you go to Bookham—the way
will be to leave at once. The letters may easily be written during the
journey ... at Orleans, for example. But now,—you propose _Saturday_
... nothing leaves Southampton according to _to-day’s_ advertisement,
till _Tuesday_ ... the days seemed changed to _Tuesdays_ and _Fridays_.
To-morrow at 8¼ P.M. and Friday the 22, 10¼. Provoking! I will go to
town directly to the railway office and enquire particularly—getting the
time-table also. Under these circumstances, we have only the choice of
Dieppe (as needing the shortest diligence-journey)—or the Sunday morning
Havre-packet, at 9 A.M.—which you do not consider practicable: though it
would, I think, take us the quickliest out of all the trouble. I will
let you know all particulars in a note to-night ... it shall reach you
to-night.
If we went from London only, the luggage could be sent here or in any
case, perhaps ... as one fly will carry them with me and mine, and save
possibility of delay.
I am _very_ well, dearest dearest—my mother no worse, better, perhaps—she
is out now. Our staying and getting into trouble would increase her
malady.
As you leave it to me,—the name, and ‘Wimpole St.’ will do. Jamaica
sounds in the wrong direction, does it not? and the other place is
distinctive enough.
Take no desk ... I will take a large one—take nothing you can leave—but
secure letters &c. I will take out a passport. Did you not tell me
roughly at how much you estimated our expenses for the journey? Because
I will take about _that_ much, and get Rothschild’s letter of credit for
Leghorn. One should avoid carrying money about with one.
All this in such haste! Bless you, my dearest dearest Ba
Your R.
All was right in the licence, and Certificate and Register—the whole name
is there, E.B.M.B. The clergyman made the mistake in not having the _two_
names, but all runs right to _read_ ... the essential thing.
_R.B. to E.B.B._
5 o’clock.
[Post-mark, September 17, 1846.]
My own Ba, I believe, or am sure the mistake has been mine—in the flurry
I noted down the departures from _Havre_—instead of _Southampton_. You
must either be at the Vauxhall Station by _four_ o’clock—so as to arrive
in 3 hours and a half at Southampton and leave by 8¼ P.M.—or must go by
the Sunday Boat,—or _wait_ till Tuesday. Dieppe is impossible, being too
early. You must decide—and let me know directly. To-morrow _is_ too
early—yet one ... that is, _I_—could manage.
Ever your own, in all haste
R.B.
_R.B. to E.B.B._
7½—Thursday
[Post-mark, September 18, 1846.]
My own Ba—forgive my mistaking! I had not enough confidence in my own
correctness. The advertisement of the Tuesday and Friday Boats is of the
South of England Steam Company. The Wednesday and Saturday is that of
the _South Western_. There must be then _two_ companies, because on the
Southampton Railway Bill it is expressly stated that there are departures
for Havre on all four days. Perhaps you have seen my blunder. In that
case, you can leave by 1-2½ as you may appoint—
Your R.
_E.B.B. to R.B._
[Post-mark, September 18, 1846.]
Dearest take this word, as if it were many. I am so tired—and then it
shall be the right word.
Sunday and Friday are impossible. On Saturday I will go to you, if you
like—with half done, ... nothing done ... scarcely. Will you come for me
to Hodgson’s? or shall I meet you at the station? At what o’clock should
I set out, to be there at the hour you mention?
Also, for the boxes ... we cannot carry them out of the house, you
know, Wilson and I. They must be sent on Friday evening to the Vauxhall
station, ‘to be taken care of.’ Will the people keep them carefully?
Ought someone to be spoken to beforehand? If we sent them to New Cross,
they would not reach you in time.
Hold me my beloved—with your love. It is very hard—But Saturday seems
the only day for us. Tell me if you think so indeed.
Your very own BA.
The boxes must have your name on them of course. Let there be no great
haste about sending out the cards. _Saturday_ might be mentioned in the
advertisement, _without_ the date—might it not?
_E.B.B. to R.B._
[Post-mark, September 18, 1846.]
Dearest, here is the paper of addresses. I cannot remember, I am so
confused, half of them.
Surely you say wrong in the hour for to-morrow. Also there is the express
train. Would it not be better?
Your BA.
_R.B. to E.B.B._
11½ Friday.
[Post-mark, September 18, 1846.]
My own best Ba. How thankful I am you have seen my blunder—I took the
other company’s days for the South Western’s changed. What I shall write
now is with the tables before me (of the Railway) and a transcript from
_to-day’s_ advertisement in the _Times_.
The packet will leave to-morrow evening, from the Royal Pier, Southampton
at _nine_. We leave Nine Elms, Vauxhall, at _five_—to arrive at _eight_.
Doors close _five_ minutes before. I will be at Hodgson’s _from_
half-past three to _four precisely_ when I shall hope you can be ready.
I shall go to Vauxhall, apprise them that luggage is coming (yours) and
send _mine_ there—so that we both shall be unencumbered and we can take a
cab or coach from H’s.
Never mind your scanty preparations ... we can get everything at
Leghorn,—and the new boats carry parcels to Leghorn on the 15th of every
month, remember—so can bring what you may wish to send for.
I enclose a letter to go with yours. The cards as you choose—they are
here—we can write about them from Paris or elsewhere. The advertisement,
as you advise. All shall be cared for.
God bless and strengthen you, my ever dearest dearest—I will not trust
myself to speak of my feelings for you—worship well belongs to such
fortitude. One struggle more—if all the kindness on your part brought
a strangely insufficient return, is it not possible that this step may
produce all you can hope? Write to me one word more. Depend on me. I go
to Town about business.
Your own, own R.
_E.B.B. to R.B._
Friday Night.
[Post-mark, September 19, 1846.]
At from half-past three to four, then—four will not, I suppose, be too
late. I will not write more—_I cannot._ By to-morrow at this time, I
shall have _you_ only, to love me—my beloved!
You _only_! As if one said _God only_. And we shall have _Him_ beside, I
pray of Him.
I shall send to your address at New Cross your Hanmer’s poems—and the two
dear books you gave me, which I do not like to leave here and am afraid
of hurting by taking them with me. Will you ask _our_ Sister to put the
parcel into a drawer, so as to keep it for us?
Your letters to me I take with me, let the ‘ounces’ cry out aloud, ever
so. I _tried_ to leave them, and I could not. That is, they would not be
left: it was not my fault—I will not be scolded.
Is this my last letter to you, ever dearest? Oh—if I loved you less ... a
little, little less.
Why I should tell you that our marriage was invalid, or ought to be; and
that you should by no means come for me to-morrow. It is dreadful ...
dreadful ... to have to give pain here by a voluntary act—for the first
time in my life.
Remind your mother and father of me affectionately and gratefully—and
your Sister too! Would she think it too bold of me to say _our_ Sister,
if she had heard it on the last page?
Do you pray for me to-night, Robert? Pray for me, and love me, that I may
have courage, feeling both—
Your own
BA.
The boxes are _safely sent_. Wilson has been perfect to me. And _I_ ...
calling her ‘timid,’ and afraid of her timidity! I begin to think that
none are so bold as the timid, when they are fairly roused.
