""I should like to know what you did it for? I'd like to know what made you think I wasn't able to take care of myself. I just knew somebody had been meddling, but I didn't suppose it was you. I can manage my own affairs in my own way, if you please, and I'll thank you after this to leave me to myself in what don't concern you.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
