1 00:00:03,290 --> 00:00:10,699 Letter from Mary Shelley to Percy Bysshe Shelley London the 25th of October, 1842. 2 00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:14,300 Shelley. So what a minute did I see you yesterday? 3 00:00:14,630 --> 00:00:18,680 Is this the way, my beloved, that we are to live till the sixth in the morning? 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,650 I look for you. And when I awake, I turn to look on you. Dearest Shelley, you are solitary and uncomfortable. 5 00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:28,430 Why can't I be with you? To cheer you and to press you to my heart. 6 00:00:29,270 --> 00:00:34,370 My love, you have no friends. Why then, should you be torn from the only one who has affection for you? 7 00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:38,750 But I shall see you tonight. And that is the hope that I shall live on through the day. 8 00:00:39,650 --> 00:00:44,120 Be happy, dear, shouting, and think of me. Why do I say this, dearest and only one? 9 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,780 I know how tenderly you love me and how you opine at this absence from me. 10 00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:56,990 When should we be free from fear of treachery? I send you the letter I told you from Harriet and a letter we received yesterday from Fanny. 11 00:00:57,470 --> 00:01:01,870 The history of this interview, I will tell you and I come that perhaps that it is already a day. 12 00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:06,350 Fanny will not be allowed to come at all. My love, my own won't be happy. 13 00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:10,430 I was so dreadfully tired yesterday that I was obliged to take a coach home. 14 00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:19,010 Forgive this extravagance, but I am so very weak at present and I've been so agitated through the day that I was not able to stand a morning rest. 15 00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:22,490 However, will that be quite right again? I shall be quite well when I meet you this evening. 16 00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:29,330 Will you be at the door of the coffee house at 5:00? That is disagreeable to go into those places and I shall be there exactly at that time. 17 00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:31,310 And I we will go to St Paul's where we can sit down. 18 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,430 I send you Diogenes as you have no books, hook a miserable temper does not to send the books I asked for.
