lightning, no thunder. Altogether it was the
most remarkable day in this very eccentric
summer.
The prince was evidently delighted with his
good fortune. Almost soon as the earliest
of the guests made their appearance he came
out and began making himself agreeable to
them with that charm of manner which even
his bitterest enemies will not deny that he pos
