I took the letters in in the morning, so there was no need for father to know." "Were you engaged to the gentleman at this time ?" "Oh, yes, Mr.Holmes.We were engaged after the first walk that we took.

Hosmer--Mr.Angel--was a cashier in an office in Leadenhall Street--and--" "What office ?" "That's the worst of it, Mr.Holmes, I don't know." "Where did he live, then ?" "He slept on the premises." "And you don't know his address ?" "No--except that it was Leadenhall Street." "Where did you address your letters, then ?" "To the Leadenhall Street Post Office, to be left till called for.

He said that if they were sent to the office he would be chaffed by all the other clerks about having letters from a lady, so I offered to typewrite them, like he did his, but he wouldn't have that, for he said that when I wrote them they seemed to come from me, but when they were typewritten he always felt that the machine had come between us.
