much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing.

will be worse than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the
people I know there. Some of them. as far as I can remember, were quite nice.?
Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of
the letters of introduction, came into the nice division.
