"Frau v. H. is gone away to rest after Xmas. I may see her again Monday, but if so I shall probably not see her again after that. I do not think it would be possible to be on merely friendly terms, or on more than friendly terms. I like her very much indeed. Her husband holds all her imagination and passion, just as you hold mine; and yet I feel nothing light or slight is possible, and therefore nothing is possible."
