finished. The bulky manuscript Of the

manuscript would be more effective if

over by q woman. Passing through

the girl was weeping over an incident
in the book. This story. related = by
the lady, led to the publication of the
book. which was quickly followed by
its successor, "Alice-for- Short" 1t is
