now you have fiirted with each other, how he
has held your hand and admired your handsome

you have exchanged, and have heard every
word that has passed between you, even those
spoken in the lowest tones. oh, Love, or, il you

operation? But then L was blind-blind, and
deaf besides. The result Of the operation IS
a cross-eyed wife. A cross-eyed wife aud not
even rich! The bond that united US is broken
never to be reunited and here YOU have back
your pledge ~ And / shook from INV finger
