] handed one Of the ladies dipper OF water

whether twas good or bad to the palate |
couldn't make out. Then l took up
another d!cpe-fnl Inst was

mouth Of the dipper / didn't know what
70 do; hut quick as a fash ! thought tina. it

bucket, took up another dipper Of water
and handed it to the lady waiting. She
drank it. but | noticed painfully that
neither Of them said angthinz about the
water being particularly good / didn't
sell the place 20 them"
