About this book
Love letters become a risky service when Ben Hopkins writes them for his friend Jim Hosley. Sharing bachelor rooms, the two men trade jokes about the quantity of Ben's correspondence and the trouble it has caused. Jim recalls anxious encounters with his admirers' families, while Ben wants to hear every detail. Their banter introduces a comic romance in which talkative Ben can turn from courtship to political reform in a few sentences.
Edward B. Lent also places Hosley's reputation under family scrutiny. Gabrielle defends him to her mother, praising his courage in rescuing Ben from a fire and resisting her father's suspicions about his character. Beside this earnest conversation sits a hotel keeper's expansive tale about a cat.
