Her husbands, on hearing that she is dead, go into raptures and rush off and marry other people, and then just as they are starting off on their new honeymoon up she crops again, as fresh as paint.

onsideration, no thought for their poor wives. They are not a prepossessing lot, either, those early husbands of hers. What she could have seen in them to induce her to marry them is indeed a mystery. The adventuress dresses magnificently. Where she gets the money from we never could understand, for she and her companions are always more or less complaining of being "stone broke." Dressmakers must be a trusting people where she comes from. The adventuress is like the proverbial cat as regards the number of lives she is possessed of. You never know when she is really dead. Most people like to die once and have done with it, but the adventuress, after once or twice trying it, seems to get quite to like it, and goes on giving way to it, and then it grows upon her until she can't help herself, and it becomes a sort of craving with her. This habit of hers is, however, a very trying one for her friends and husbands--it makes things so uncertain. Something ought to be done to break her of it.  SO LIKE HUSBANDS NO CONSIDERATION NO THOUGHT FOR THEIR POOR WIVES THEY ARE NOT A PREPOSSESSING LOT EITHER THOSE EARLY HUSBANDS OF HERS WHAT SHE COULD HAVE SEEN IN THEM TO INDUCE HER TO MARRY THEM IS INDEED A MYSTERY THE ADVENTURESS DRESSES MAGNIFICENTLY WHERE SHE GETS THE MONEY FROM WE NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND FOR SHE AND HER COMPANIONS ARE ALWAYS MORE OR LESS COMPLAINING OF BEING STONE BROKE DRESSMAKERS MUST BE A TRUSTING PEOPLE WHERE SHE COMES FROM THE ADVENTURESS IS LIKE THE PROVERBIAL CAT AS REGARDS THE NUMBER OF LIVES SHE IS POSSESSED OF YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN SHE IS REALLY DEAD MOST PEOPLE LIKE TO DIE ONCE AND HAVE DONE WITH IT BUT THE ADVENTURESS AFTER ONCE OR TWICE DARK TRYING IT SEEMS TO GET QUITE TOO LIKE IT AND GOES ON GIVING WAY TO IT AND THEN IT GROWS UPON HER UNTIL SHE CANNOT HELP HERSELF AND IT BECOMES A SORT OF CRAVING WITH HER THIS HABIT OF HERS HOWEVER A VERY TRYING ONE FOR HER FRIENDS AND HUSBANDS IT MAKES THINGS SO UNCERTAIN SOMETHING OUGHT TO BE DONE TO BREAK HER OF IT
