Dazed and wondering, I took the letter he held out to me, but no sooner had I glanced at the superscription than I forgot all else for the moment. "How how should that man come by this?" I stammered at last. "Took or pur-loined it from the young 'ooman Nancy Price, sir, according to 'er own ewidence, as stated to me in my little office this mornin' an' her a-veepin' all over my papers, pore lass!
