Colillcur instantly rang the bell

garcon, "and engage box in the GUlnt-

All was forgotten, you perceive.
AT the desert, Tournemine, who ought
to have been held sacred, Tournemine was
only an object Of ridiculc. Colitlcur offer

Colitlcur and his wife did not leave

No Use then in thinking Of going to
