Mudie is a ear old friend of Miss Prism's from London, where she is also involved in some philanthropic work with Uncle Jack—that is how Miss Prism came to be my governess. She is a dear, sweet thing, though I am afraid not very *interesting*. Her visits here are always rather *convenient* for me though, as I am allowed the entire time off from lessons. Of course I am obliged to spend my time with her when she wishes, but she and Miss Prism go off on their own quite a bit—especially evenings. Perhaps Mudie knows cousin Ernest!! I must ask her at once.

No answer was forthcoming.
