Frank Allerton an Autobiography, Vol. 3 of 3 (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from Frank Allerton an Autobiography, Vol. 3 of 3

The next day Philip Centry returned to his home at the modest coffee-house in St. Martin's Lane. Before his arrival his sister (whom we will now call by her original name of Zillah) had learned from Mrs. Centry and Clarice enough of his present habits and views to frame a story and adopt a manner that should interest and conciliate him. In her story she inserted as much truth and as little falsehood as was consistent with her purpose, for it is only bunglers who resort to unnecessary lies; just as a skilful apothecary in compounding a narcotic avoids an overdose of the deadly drug.
