as the latter gentleman is sensible enough always
to choose the best hotel in town. we naturally meet

was very much exhausted-sused up entirely; and

the indicrstion Of trusting tue lcguacious General
beyond the reach OF the Artful Dodgers leading

offended and disguised, took themselves of, and ap
