Sobre IBD

Billy Neilson was eighteen years old when the aunt, who had brought her up from babyhood, died. Miss Benton’s death left Billy quite alone in the world-alone, and peculiarly forlorn. To Mr. James Harding, of Harding & Harding, who had charge of Billy’s not inconsiderable property, the girl poured out her heart in all its loneliness two days after the funeral.
