General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Mr. K. was told that he knew one Allen, a smart fellow, but lame. This the sitter is inclined to refer to Mr. Rider Haggard’s “Allan Quatermain,” whose adventures he had just been reading. This would evidently be important if it could be verified, but unfortunately the name is not one which can be regarded as anything but a possible means of fishing. It is not characteristic enough to be of any value.
