 ''So do 1 think, too," agreed the good wife. But we've no proofs, so what can we do?"
 ..Well. I've clean eot away from my reg lar work and gone to thinkin' bit" explained the old gardener. Now, you kno now clever ut maxim believe our girl Betty Is, and you know how high She stands in the esteem of the Countess bumbroke, who's Kept her as housemaid nigh onto five years.
 "But 1 can't see what Betty's got to do with this case, said the good wife.

 ''Oh my, oh myl' groaned the gardeners good old wife on the morning of the festive day. ''I just can't get up and dress and go to that picnic to wait on all those grandees.
