My dislike to public speaking is n'it unconnected with an occasional bashlulness, which leads to a. little indistinct nessin private speaking; but I told the girl I wanted to see Mr. Burgess, and told her. as l thoung pretty plainly. She looked at, me with increased surprise“ and say- ing. I’ll see sir. let me into the house. took my card and went be- fore me. There is a house at Putney.
