cd to the inconvenience of one of old,
who, having made feast and INVITED his
guests, was, nevertheless, obliged to go

excuses then made had disappeared, and
the buying of oxen and the marrying q
wife did not keep them away, and they
had only to set their table in their usual
good style. and their house would be
filled.
After singing, the affair broke up and
all seemed happier for having enjoyed it.
