10/15 The personation which had been intended to deceive me, was an act of revenge; planned between herself and the blackguard who had employed her to make his lie look like truth. A more shameless creature I never met with. She said to me, 'I am as tall as my mistress, and a better figure; and I've often worn her fine clothes on holiday occasions.' In your country Mr.Mool, such women--so I am told--are ducked in a pond. There is one thing more to add, before you read the confession. Mrs.Robert Graywell did imprudently send the man some money--in answer to a begging letter artfully enough written to excite her pity. |
