She was the card catalogue of his ever-changing personal relations. O'Mally went in for everything and got tired of everything; that was why he made a good editor. After he was through with people, Ardessa was very skilful in covering his retreat. She read and answered the letters of admirers who had begun to bore him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
