The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, Volume II CHAPTER VIII LIFE AT BOURNEMOUTH, CONTINUED, JANUARY 1886 JULY 1887 Letter: TO MRS. DE MATTOS [SKERRYVORE, BOURNEMOUTH], JANUARY 1ST, 1886. DEAREST KATHARINE, Here, on a very little book and accompanied with lame verses, I have put your name. Our kindness is now getting well on in years; it must be nearly of age; and it gets more valuable to me with every time I see you. It is not possible to express any sentiment, and it is not necessary to try, at least between us. You know very well that I love you dearly, and that I always will. I only wish the verses were better, but at least you like the story; and it is sent to you by the one that loves you Jekyll, and not Hyde. R. L. S. AVE! Bells upon the city are ringing in the night; High above the gardens are the houses full of light; On the heathy Pentlands is the curlew flying free; And the broom is blowing bonnie in the north countrie. We cannae break the bonds that God decreed to bind, Still we'll be the children of the heather and the wind; Far away from home, O, it's still for you and me That the broom is blowing bonnie in the north countrie! |
