With her, when the end came, were Jean and Katy Leary, and John and Ellen (the gardener and his wife).

Clara and her mother and I arrived in England from around the world on the 31st of July, and took a house in Guildford.

A week later, when Susy, Katy and Jean should have been arriving from America, we got a letter instead.
It explained that Susy was slightly ill--nothing of consequence.

But we were disquieted, and began to cable for later news.

This was Friday.
