p.?? “Robert Ross gave me the particulars of his last illness… Early in November Ross left Paris… for Reggie Turner had undertaken to stay with Oscar”

p.?? “on Oct 25th my (Ross’s) brother Aleck came to see him … His sister-in-law Mrs Willie and her husband Teixeira on their honeymoon … Oscar was registered under the name of Melmoth…”
