Shut your ears tight against this blarneying Irish liar and actor. Read
no more of his letters. He will fill his fountain pen with your heart's blood,
and sell your most sacred emotions on the stage. … He is treacherous as only an
Irishman can be: he adores you with one eye and sees you with the other as a
calculated utility. He has been recklessly trying to please you, to delight
you, to persuade you to carry him up to heaven for a moment (he is trying to do
it now); and when you have done it, he will run away and give it all to the
mob. … Oh dont, dont, DONT fall in love with him; but dont grudge him the joy
he finds in being in love with you, and writing all sorts of wild but heartfelt
exquisite lies — lies, lies, lies, lies — to you, his adoredest.
G.B.S.
