Note 30 — Chapter VI

I am aware that other letters have been addressed by Mr. Charlesworth to the public journals, which seem to invalidate the above. I do not consider, however, that I am called upon to explain any apparent inconsistencies in this matter which may have come before the public. My duty is, in the course of this narrative, merely to present to the reader the grounds which Miss Booth had for believing that her young companion was in no way quitting the path of duty in remaining by her side.
