says Il thOught so; lilly indeed. won't
eat none OF your 'oTsehesh," says. "Come
Well, that waiter, he danced about us and
says, pay ya." says, 'Jammy." He calls
another as ketohed old of my redicule. give
i'm shove as sent i'm agin another as were
carryin' lot of plates, as sent i'm backwards
on table full of glasses, and they fetohes in
one OF them perlice, and interpreter as stood
me out as flly meant roast beef. So had to
| pay, for there wasn't no standin' agin that
| fellow, as would swear anythink, for do be-
lieve as in that Bxhibishun they was all alike,
them as would say anythink but their prayers,
and them they whistles, as the sayin' is; and
| all I've got to say is, / shan't trust myself in
none OF them restorongs no more alone, for
| I'm sure that waiter, he looked as if he could
ave murdered me, and do think as he would,
! only I'd got old of my umbreller that firm as
| looked determined, and so | was to ave give
i'm topper if he'd touched me agin, for as l
says to him, 'Paws Off Pompey," as is French,
! l knows, for / don't 'old with bein' pulled
about by nobody let alone with their greasy
fingers, as left mark on my sleeve as 1t was,
tho certingly they are beautiful clean in the
| general way, and their linen got up that white
as never can be washed in cold water, the
same as you may see them washerwOmen in
boats on the river by the 'undred a-washin'
away, as wouldn't suit me, and it seems to me
as them poor women works 'arder than the
men a-sweepin' the streets, and sich like, as is
work only fit for slaves, not but what some of
them French is nearly as dark as niggers; and
there was young gal in the train with us the
day as we was a-gOin' to Wersales, as was
downright teapot, with turbin on the top of
'er black wool, as spoke French jest like the
white ones, as is what they never can do with
the English, as shows as they must be all the
same; for Pm sure the langwidge OF them
Christshun Minstrels is downright foolishness,
and I've 'eard em speak the same myself
down by the Docks, when they wasn't up to
their larks, with their bones and banjos, and
all manner.
They may talk about weather, but all as
I've got to say of all the weather as ever
know'd, this 'ere Paris beats it 'oller-a fur
Miss one day and a-freezin' the next.
l thought as it were too early for summer
things afore left 'ome, so wore winter ones,
as was nearly my death with 'eat, for l did
think as l should ave melted dead away, and
yet afraid to change; but it was that warm
that says to Miss Tredwell, 81 do think as l
must wear my yaller musling tomorrow"
She says, ooh do, for Pm sure you'll look so
nice in a musling." But, law, when l come
to get it out you'd ave thought as it 'ad been
in the dirty-clothes bag, it was that dreadful
tumbled but the young woman as waited ON
us as were that civil she said as it could be
ironed out easy, and took it accordin'.
Miss Tredwell she says to me, ''You amt
never a-going to wear that muslng without
jupong."
/ says, "Whatever do you mean Y''
"Oh," she says, Zone of them spring petit
coats.''
l says, "No crinoline for me-"
She says, "Not crinoline, but,' she says,
I'll show you," and runs to er room and
fetches one as was only crinoline ON small
scale arter all.
"There,'' she says; 'it's jest enough to make
your musling set helegant, and you're well
come to it.''
says, "What are you a-going to do with
out it ?'
"Oh," she says, ''my dress as Pm a-goin' to
wear amt made for it, so do take it, for l
shan't wear it no more"
Well, must say as when 1 come to put that
musling on it did look very dabby, for in
irOnin' of it out they'd been and damped it, so
as it was as limp as rag; so let Miss Tired
well put me on the jupong, and wore only
light jacket as looked very nice, tho l must
say as it were very summery, but it was
'ot sun tho 'eavy clouds about.
thought as / must ave bust out a-larfn'
in Mrs. Archbutt's face, for if she 'adn't gone
and put on 'at the same as Mrs. Wells 'ad
got, and new wig as curled at the back. Miss
Tredwell, she d words with Mrs. Wells jest as
we was a-startin', thro' a-sayin' as Mrs. Wells
'ad got 'er parysol, as they'd bought 'em new
together the day before.
OF all the hold fools as ever did know,
it's that Archbutt, as will always con-
tradict you about the shortest way, and
I'm sure the time as he KEEP us a-waitin',
with i'm a spreadin' the plan of Paris up
agin a wall and a-disputin' about the way.
Brown and Wells 'ad started, so l says to Miss
Tredwell, 'Let's go by the train, the same as
we did yesterday" and so she agreed, and
while old Archbutt was a-tallkin we sloped
on the quiet, as the sayin' is, and got to the
train.
AS soon as ever were at the station felt
the wind a-blowin' that cool thro' my musling
as says, "Miss Tredwell, must go back for
warm shawl
We'd took our tickets, and jest at that mo-
ment in come the train, and Miss Tredwell
says, "I'l lend you my shawl" and 'urries
me down the stairs.
OF all the ill-convenient trains to get into
it's them second-class French, for the sides is
so steep and the steps that narrer as | couldn't
rdly climb up at all; but the carriages inside
is comfortable, tho narrer.
OF all the roundabouts it is that way of
goin' to the Exhibshun, as seems for to whisk
you all round Paris, tho it gets you there at
last.
We was determined, Miss Tredwell and me,
for to ave a good look at the jewels, as is
splendid. / never did see nOthink more lovely
than lot as belongs to Countess.
"Ah,' l says, "fine feathers makes fine
birds, but they don't make 'appy ones;" so
'Opes as them diamons isn't got at the price of
'artache, for Pm told them French husbands
is a awdacious lot, a-goin' on all manner, and
n aoivin, of them diamons to their taVOrites by
