I had arrived at Styles on the 5th of July I come now to the events of the 16th and 17th of that month For the convenience of the reader I will recapitulate the incidents of those days in as exact a manner as possible They were elicited subsequently at the trial by a process of long and tedious cross-examinations

I received a letter fro ha lethorp should show any wish to be reconciled

The 16th of July fell on a Monday It was a day of turmoil The famous bazaar had taken place on Saturday, and an entertainlethorp was to recite a War poe the e where it was to take place We had a late luncheon and spent the afternoon resting in the garden I noticed that John's manner was somewhat unusual He seelethorp went to lie down to rest before her efforts in the evening and I challenged Mary Cavendish to a single at tennis

About a quarter to seven, Mrs Inglethorp called us that we should be late as supper was early that night We had rather a scraet ready in ti at the door

The entertainlethorp's recitation receiving tremendous applause There were also some tableaux in which Cynthia took part She did not return with us, having been asked to a supper party, and to re with her in the tableaux
