  	On arrival I find Louisa has a suitor. She and he have known each other for a good long time, living next door to each other when she was a teenager on Center Street and he 8 years her junior. Well, well. Who is this, none other than Charles Edward Ladue? All grown up now, he is a long time Cleveland resident and another glass factory worker.
