ton, we started.
"The young men laughed at
the idea Of my paying anything

felt that had never been in the
COMPANY of more hOspitable set
of men.
"When we arrived at the place
the dance bad already begun. We
left the carriage in ere 81 Il negro

surprised to learn that she was

"At last she began to laugh
and talk 50 oddly that | began to
feel little embarrassed and ask
