He is the worst possible man for your daughter to know, and to be in his house is a misfortune." "How does she happen to be there?"
Nervously, I say, because lady mediums and mesmerizers are so apt to run to eighteen stone, or be old and frumpish, that I had terrible fears lest I should be scared when I met Miss Chandos in the flesh. I was very agreeably surprised, however, for when Mr.
