"I wonder if you could understand I don't know you're not a woman " "No, but I am human, Mrs. Googe; and human sympathy is a great enlightener." "The weight here and here!"

Naturally, we were very keenly distressed at the untimely and tragic fate which had overtaken our staunch little friend Daphne.
