Maria left me and took the flat in London, while I retain my family’s country estate. It’s rather tedious, taking the rail every morning and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=letterstomortimer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9438190&amp;post=159&amp;subd=letterstomortimer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m thinking of doing away with myself, Mortimer. I can no longer abide the impudent lack of courtesy, which seems to be the hallmark of all but the Elect. Just yesterday, as I hastened to the Firm, a most belligerent individual failed to give way at a roundabout, nearly causing a collision. As if this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=letterstomortimer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9438190&amp;post=149&amp;subd=letterstomortimer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m thinking of doing away with myself, Mortimer. It seems, of late, that I cannot escape the bothersome pandemonium of ungoverned children. My coworkers, I have observed, have adopted the vulgar custom of bringing their newborn offspring to work. Why one should think that anybody would have the slightest interest in his or her progeny [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=letterstomortimer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9438190&amp;post=104&amp;subd=letterstomortimer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This morning, as I was ambling leisurely about the office, I was unexpectedly accosted by a disturbingly cheerful and diminutive woman, whom I know to be in the dreadful habit of incessantly humming ”catchy little tunes”. I found myself suddenly thrust into a quite unsolicited conversation, the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=letterstomortimer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9438190&amp;post=102&amp;subd=letterstomortimer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

You might think this glorious news, as did I. However, I was unaware of what was soon to follow. The self-same evening I arrived home to an uncharacteristically jubilant Maria.

The orator is droning on in a tone more constant and unwavering than the North Star, and I&#8217;ve very nearly become comatose.

My young beauty has thrown me over for a young man with the constant and distressing aroma of having been marinated in a repugnant concoction that I can only assume is some thrifty cologne.
