I was going to be no party to cold-blooded murder, which I judged to be her expedient. It was a pretty kettle of fish, but in the meantime I must have food, for I had eaten nothing for nine hours.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
