have had Nab Cordeaux (as she likes to spell the name Cordukes) staying
with me last week. She married my cousin Henry Cordukes, son of the
Sheriff-Hutton Cordukes who married Ann Stables, my mother's sister.
She is an Australian, but is now living with her brother and his wife at
Lindfield, in Sussex, where they have settled. Her brother was the
Manager of Railways in China, retiring some six or seven years ago. Mab has
had a rather tragic life as her husband seemed to have inherited some of
his father's mental peculiarities and the marriage was a failure. He
died of T.B. some years ago. Most of my mother's sisters and several
of her nieces and nephews died of consumption, inheriting a family
tendency that way. I suppose ignorant of modern methods of
combatting the disease."

    she found two pictures in her husbands room, one of herself, and one

    two girls he had ever loved, but his first sweetheart, Emily
    Stables, died.
