Excerpt from The Woman in White, Vol. 2
June 27, 1850. - Six months to look back on - six long, lonely months, since Laura and I last saw each other!
How many days have I still to wait? Only one! To-morrow, the twenty-eighth, the travellers return to England. I can hardly realize my own happiness; I can hardly believe that the next four-and-twenty hours will complete the last day of separation between Laura and me.
She and her husband have been in Italy all the winter, and afterwards in the Tyrol. They come back, accompanied by Count Fosco and his wife, who propose to settle somewhere in the neighbourhood of London, and who have engaged to stay at Blackwater Park for the summer months before deciding on a place of residence. So long as Laura returns, no matter who returns with her. Sir Percival may fill the house from floor to ceiling, if he likes, on condition that his wife and I inhabit it together.
