This idea was confirmed by her moving just afterwards, changing her seat rather pointlessly, not as if to cut our conversation short, but because she was in a fidget. I couldn't know what was the matter with her, but I was presently relieved to see Mrs Adney come toward us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
