Chapter XLVIII: Mr. Paul Mostyn to Miss Benita Staveley

"MY DEAREST BEN,

"I have been a very long time in resorting to 'The Beck and Call'
for assistance; but now I have a real need. Will you go to the
best Bond Street jewellers and buy a ring regardless of cost?
It is a wedding present for one I am very fond of. Choose it as
though it were for yourself.

"I am,
"Your devoted,
"UNCLE PAUL"
