Perhaps Hugh never knew that Nell Tiffton lent me that elegant pearl bracelet, bought by her father at Ball & Black's.

Night before last the doctor took me to hear Charlotte Cushman as _Meg Merrilies_.

I wore all the jewelery for which I could find a place, Nell's bracelet with the rest.

The doctor and madam have both admired it very much, never dreaming that it was borrowed.

In the jam coming out it must have unclasped and dropped off, for it's not to be found high nor low, and you can fancy the muss I am in.
