Oh, I _was_ an ass! But I've paid for it!--oh, yes, Kathleen, I've paid dearly for it, and I'll pay more dearly yet before I've done. I tried to avoid her yesterday--you must have seen that. And I couldn't--I give you my word, I could no more have kept away from her than I could have spread a pair of wings and flown away.
