c. Waltenspeil had prepared a somp
tuous repast, and the tables groaned
with the things that Danish hunger and
serve to make men good-natured. Bowls

Arions tackled with characteristic
vigor. "Oh where, oh where is mine
little dog gomez" set the Teutonic blood
a-tingling, and the 100 pairs of feet
went capering around the spacious pa
vilion right merrily.
