What will the ever unpredictable Mrs. Thompson say to Worried?
Obviously, from what we’ve seen previously, you just stop replying to the out-of-town man’s letters and let him stew.
As you are not engaged, you could continue to reply to the out-of-town man and go out with the in-town man enough to be sure he’s better. But that probably makes too much sense.
Or you could write the man and tell him you have enjoyed his company but need to move on and hope you remain friends.
