Sobre IBD

MANY years have passed since my wife and I left the United States to pay our first visit to England. We were provided with letters of introduction, as a matter of course. Among them there was a letter which had been written for us by my wife’s brother. It presented us to an English gentleman who held a high rank on the list of his old and valued friends. 'You will become acquainted with Mr. George Germaine,' my brother-in-law said, when we took leave of him, 'at a very interesting period of his life. My last news of him tells me that he is just married. I know nothing of the lady, or of the circumstances under which my friend first met with her. But of this I am certain: married or single, George Germaine will give you and your wife a hearty welcome to England, for my sake.' The day after our arrival in London, we left our letter of introduction at the house of Mr. Germaine.
