I have a scurvy head that will not let me write longer. I am your. For Mrs. Paynter, at her house in Bedford Street, next ye Goate, In Covent Garden. Letter 21. Sir Thomas Osborne is Dorothy's "Cousin Osborne" here mentioned. He was, you remember, a suitor for Dorothy's hand, but has now married Lady Bridget Lindsay.
"How about the robbery of Miss Prim's room and the murder of Old Man Baggs?" asked Burton. "Did they pull both of those off before they killed Paynter or after?" "They had nothing to do with either unless they did them after they threw me out of the car, which must have been long after midnight," replied the girl.

The last made Warble mad and she made a face at Lotta and sent her home. A rose-colored June day.
Hater and I writing over my Alphabet fair, in which I took great pleasure to rule the lines and to have the capitall words wrote with red ink. So home and to supper. This evening Savill the Paynter came and did varnish over my wife's picture and mine, and I paid him for my little picture L3, and so am clear with him. So after supper to bed.
