The absence of it's owner from Castle DAILY
had the double effect on Anne O'Flaherty of
iEducing her to shut herself up more than ever
with her own auhjscts in her kingdom, as the
little valley was called by it's inhabitnpt Ia, aud
of causing her thoughts to stray often TO
the different localities from which letterd di.
