ly female who paid him daily visits to
get his opinion on matters OF no import
ance to him whatever. Finally, becoming
eXasperated at the woman, he gave the
doorkeepers orders not TO admit her under
any circumstances. However, not a day
passed that she did not make an effort to
gain a hearing, and on an unusually late
visit happened to meet the secretary just
as he was about to enter his carriage.
