Under our joint care my darling Stella beat off death, u hioh had her nearly in his clutches, and in a fortnight after she had come to me like an angel from heaven in disguise, she was sitting by my side on tho lawn, pale and faint but on the way of recovery, narrating her adventures after wo left her marooned on the island.
