 "And Louise ?" |" Miss has just ridden away"

Was as one enchanted before the angel ic appar lion. l recovered myself, and bowed with the greatest respect but Emile, like Louise in the forenoon, paid no attention to my compliments, but hnstcntd to her father and embraced him heart y. Succeeded cXcrleutly :" she cried. "I all qnt tc happy ti. worthy Arnold is saved. Just look, the arm was already beginning to mort ty."
