In a few short sentences, Dart lets Dot know that he misses her terribly. It wasn’t too hard for him to part from her when he left, because they’ll be seeing each other again so soon. But now that they’ve been parted for a few hours, he misses her and her wonderful family something fierce!

The drive back down to Norfolk was easy and nearly uneventful, except for Hal getting “pinched for speeding.”

He asks Dot to thank her parents and Harriet for their kind hospitality until he can write them a more formal note. Hal says he sends his love, because he knows Dart won’t send it to her!
