[Kate Danton, or, Captain Danton’s Daughters by May Agnes Fleming]@TWC D-Link bookKate Danton, or, Captain Danton’s Daughters CHAPTER XXI 14/30
Doctor Frank knows all about it, and saved the life of the man Harry shot.
It is Agnes Darling, papa.
Isn't it the strangest thing you ever heard of ?"

"Sit down, papa, and I'll tell you all about it.
