The girl obligingly dropped her boots, and turning out the contents of a cupboard, produced some faded blue bathing trunks. To us they seemed shamelessly inadequate, but Simon appeared satisfied.
My name is William Francis Furlong. My occupation is that of a commission merchant, and my place of business is on St. Paul Street, in the City of Montreal. I have resided in Montreal ever since shortly after my marriage, in 1862, to my cousin, Alice Playter, of Toronto.
