The guests thought it was probably dish of meat or a new course of preserves, when the thatch was removed, and at the bottom was seen small htman figure squatted upon its launches. The little thing gradually picked itself up, came out of it's bundle, and fell upon its knees before the mas ter of the house, putting up it's hands in the picture of suppliant.
