In the wild whirl of one OF the values L
noticed that Paulina stopped and picked up
something, and when the dance vas doue
she brought me handkerchief winch sne

never pick up handkerchief which does
not belong 10 you, especially II 1t be so!led

It seemed impossible that could not find
the owner Of those rings, but it was diff

no one had lost any rings or knew of any
