     We were angry at Thackeray about you, and he was ashamed and angry at himself—very—he confessed it all to Mrs. B. He was ill, and cross at the time; he will make the amends yet to you, and you will like him and he you, yet. He is a finer, larger, loveabler man, or rather fellow, than ever. We are more infatuated about him than ever.
