He had shown, and roborated by the girl's own missions, that she had been well- fed, well-clothed, and even taken to places of amusements; and in other ways trented as if she were the woman's own daughter.

In the respectable position Into which she was introduced, it was naturally expected of her that she should conduct herself respectably. and speak only to respectable people, Instead of which she had conduct- ed herself in a way which was ob- Jected to by the people who were out to treat her as a daughter.
