You're so brave and and skillful. It makes one feel so safe to be with you." "Of course I've driven all my life," Miss Herron admitted. "Your grand-uncle, the judge, my dear, always insisted that driving was part of a gentlewoman's education, like household management or a knowledge of English history.
The same fabrication was put upon my grand-uncle, with equal success. I was received into his house with parental affection; and in that house I gave birth to the dear child you now hold in your arms to your child, my Frank to the only child I shall ever have.
Thus, by ill guidance, had my grand-uncle become a murderer, and the judges broke their staff over him; albeit, since he freely confessed the deed of death, and had done it with no evil intent, they were content to make him pay a fine in money.

But it was unnecessary to mention it, for, situated as he was, Countess Steno would gladly have accepted him as a son-in-law.
