you know, it is quite unnecessary. 1t
Is merely done out Of temper. because
her father-in-law won't encourage her
in extravaganza. All, yes: / dare say
she tells you differently. No doubt.
But Mrs Jack has her share of cum

were inexorable. and proved too plain
ly that she owed more than she could
pay Her debts were not large. but
they weighed heavily on her spirits.
She had not been TO Percival House
