You cannot imagine how touched I am that you have taken it upon yourself to see to it that my interest payments are reduced. It is not only your faculties that amaze me, but the generosity with which you employ them. I don’t know who this selfless and miracle-working banker of yours is[1],, but that you have found him so promptly arouses my admiration of your keen intuition. I am also sorry to learn that you are not Portuguese[2], not only because of the cliché, “Les Portugais / Sont toujours gais ”[3] but because I would have tried to make this epistle as sensational as the notorious “Letters of a Portuguese Nun”[4]. In any case, it was before I found out that you were English that I made note of my partiality towards the United Kingdom in my works on Ruskin[5].
