The ottoman question: kept Paris for two or three
months much interested In two pieces or leaden wre
twisted In each other that the most diplomatic
nngers alone could unclasp the links. Men would
stand under street doors selling Roman questions

r0rient" and suggest some trade with
crescenis, for It promises 10 be q incoming
problem and not all the papers which announce
