offered her, and merely said coldly, and

opprobrious than it was undeserved, and

Count Suvoro was a staunch upholder Of
tins doctrine of servility; therefore it can
be realized how wroth he was when "a
des,ised Jewcss" dared to address him and
look at him as ifslle was his equal. 1t was
not in his nature to let her depart without
first giving her TO understand how supreme
was the contempt with which he regarded
her.

tervently.
