the real motive which Inekei you go to so .much
useless expence to serve as a blind for the Pcarisian
cocknies ? Puss is at all times a mouser. Hardly
shall you have closed your eyes to repose in eterni-

would be still much greater, it that so much wished
for event .were to take place during. your life-time,
as the cons-quence of a reverse that might put you
