Excerpts from the diary of
Miss
Wilhelmina
Brody
(Gentle reader: This manuscript came into our
possession without note or explanation. The handwriting is a very
compact, somewhat florid script. Internal evidence indicates that the
author became associated with the household of Sir Cosmo Cowperthwaite,
Bart, during the first months chronicled. However, we have not been
able to verify either her exact identity or her relationship to the
persons named herein. - the Editors)
