well, ever since your mysterious disappearance
from hometown, until within the last two years,
she has been disguised in male attire and living
with your father, Mr.. D'Filton, as porter and
steward. Your father became much attached tc
me; and often have spent whole days together
under his roof. While there, old Loo made her
self known to me occasionally had long CONVEX

telling me that it was lamentable thing that you
