ANN VERONICA TALKS TO HER FATHER
Part 1
One Wednesday afternoon in late September, Ann Veronica Stanley came
down from London in a state of solemn excitement and quite resolved to have
things out with her father that very evening. "Bah!" cried Jack, contemptuously; "nobody's disgraced and ruined unless he's
