described himself to

me I was 12 years old when he began

inoculating me with poison grain by

immune to what I read be his librarian

and when he lost his sight his eyes so

they came together the romance may have

been somewhat unusual but that gave it

all the charm of the

unexpected and there as the red sun

tinges the sky and the chatter of birds

Heralds The Coming Night we must leave

them

you don't care for your uncle's

subjects I'm a secretary it's a matter

of total indifference to me oh I find it

rather curious to find a lady so cool

and unmoved by something designed to um

stir the

emotions most ladies in those books and

paintings seem to me to be singularly

unmoved by

it you are very un common Miss Lily so I

understand

books sir I've not come for that Miss

Lily I can get that in any street corner

feel it for

long Mr Rivers returned to

London recommending the new maid whose

character was as false as her curtsy

satisfactory she has come to Brier to

swallow me up like a clutch of

eggs what do London ladies do this time

of day make visits to other ladies like

you miss ladies like

me there are no ladies like me

warmth she was not the gullible girl of

a villainous

plot but a girl with a

history with hates and

likings yet to escape from Brier I must

despise

her must deceive her

dress I want to show Mr rivers that that

do to me to go

alive full of meaning
