Now that they wuz rich, Miss Alicia now had a dowry an’ a lot of gentlemen wuz now comin’ around askin’ for permission to woo her.

I was ill for nearly 2 weeks which was the longest time I have been on bed continuously. Due to this I started to decline in studies and by the time I was fit to resume my classes I was lagging behind the others. My mom met Mrs. Sophie and requested her to give me some.
