You owe him all possible thanks, because it is due to his action alone that Mrs.Forbes will soon be rescued from captivity.

Yes, she was carried off from Beachy Head this afternoon by Wong Li Fu, but, by the rarest good fortune, this Mr.Handyside, a friend of Mr.
Theydon's, was able to follow on the trail, and steps are now being taken to free her.

Your daughter will speak to you.

I intervened merely to vouch for it that an almost incredible story is true.

By the way, let no one know that Mrs.Forbes is in London.
