HOW DID THEY COME TO DO IT?

Only to think that «ny«mn— in the daytita^ with hs( dye* open, not being crazy and not Wanting to commit suicide — should walk straight into a canal or a , riyer!. ,On^r to I think of that, I say ! Yet a good m>a&y| did it in and around London in Christmas week 1.891. The dense fog it was of » course, that made them. People could hardly, see six feet ahead of their noses; maybe less at time* and in some spots. For you under* stand*; ht? 4i^eiendß bqtweeij I bere, darkless > and » fog.

She kept on with her work m, the; htfuse and shop (a bakery), but it was as much^aa ever. . Simple medicines, such as we all know of— these she tired, but no, good came of it. So she next consulted the family doctor, » man who has a large practice, and is, considered very clever.
