Miss Fanny, I’m your friend. Don’t fear Tony Taft! The she-devil shant touch your hair if I can help it. Don’t thank me. There!‘ he added eagerly, take that!’ and he thrust the note into her very bosom. Hide it and read it the first chance. It was given me by the young doctor that helped you with the tub. He is your friend, Fanny, and no mistake. Tuck it down out o’ the way. That’s safe. There she comes again! I wish she’d tumble down and break her neck. Hush! don’t fear. You have Tony Taft to stand by you.
