Danvers Preston had failed; but

thwarted him in his criminal designs?
The question went unanswered
until called upon the doctor at his
house later in the day.
After he had drugged me (the doe.

carried me to the room where had
found myself when | recovered, and
locking the door, gone down stairs
and drank heavily as the day wore
