Orange never saw again after the night of her performance at Prince
d'Alchingen's. Her career continues. From time to time a rumour
reaches me that she is about to marry a nobleman, an author, her
manager, or an American millionaire. Quite a mistake. She, too, is a
visionary, and, I should say, respectable. If you have not seen her
act, seize the first opportunity. If you think of writing more than
the merest sketch of Orange's strange career, may I suggest the
following motto from the _Purgatorio_?--

"_Cast down the seed of weeping and attend._"

Yours very sincerely, my dear F.,

BEACONSFIELD.
