ALFRED , SIR , -- Margaret Black sends her respects , and if you want to know the truth about the money , I can tell you all , and where it is at this present time . Sir , I am now in situation at Silverton Grove House , about a furlong from the station ; and if you will be so good to call there and ask for Margaret , I will tell you where it is , which I mean the L. 14,000 ; for it is a sin the young lady should be beguiled of her own . Only you must please come this evening , or else to-morrow before ten o'clock , by reason my mistress and me we are going up to London that day early , and she talk of taking me abroad along with her . -- I remain , Sir , yours respectfully to command , `` MARGARET BLACK . `` If you please , sir , not to show this letter on no account .
