I went in with her and was astonished to see a great display of dresses, and in an adjoining closet all the array of the toilette, linen in abundance, and a good stock of shoes and embroidered slippers. Dumb with surprise I looked at her, and was thoroughly satisfied with what I saw.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
