cloak and took n survey Of my new
quarters. The room was long and low,
and situated in the topmost story of the
house. In one corner was a settle Gov

the other side there was wardrobe
and few necessaries. The bed was
placed nj the extreme end of the room.

Flavius Josephus Millsap was no stranger

had never actually expressed herself to that

Yet she sat with her face half averted
