+----------------------------------------------------------------- + | Transcriber's Note: | | | | Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note. | | | | Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant | | form was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. | | | | Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. | | | | Italicized words are surrounded by underline characters, | | _like this_. | | | | Duplicated chapter headings have been omitted. | | | | Footnotes were moved to the end of the book and numbered in one | | continuous sequence. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ End of Project Gutenberg's Southern Hearts, by Florence Hull Winterburn
