These things being true, Katy wants to take with her all that pertains to her.

One of these belongings is her "refrunce." From her standpoint, I owe it to her as truly as I owed the sixteen dollars I have just paid her.
I engaged Katy last May from a highly responsible intelligence office.
For and in consideration of a fee of three dollars, a lady-like agent, with a smooth voice and demeanor, passed over "the girl" to me as she might a brown paper parcel of moist sugar.

She supplied, gratis, a personal voucher for the woman I had engaged, having known her well for five years.

Katy had, moreover, a model "recommend," which she unwrapped from a bit of newspaper that had kept it clean.

The chirography was the fashionable "long English;" the diction was good, and the orthography faultless.
