Transcriber Notes:
Passages in italics were indicated by _underscores_.
Small caps were replaced with ALL CAPS.
Throughout the dialogues, there were words used to mimic accents of
the speakers. Those words were retained as-is.
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up
paragraphs.
Errors in punctuations and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected
unless otherwise noted.
On page 24, "villian" was replaced with "villain".
On page 25, "her's" was replaced with "hers".
On page 42, "H.M. L.S." was replaced with "H.M.L.S.".
