The Third Maid


III lHt UoTlu OF I.nSlanu. Inc VIM WAS
bowling and roaring with delight at its
resistleSs power; the rain came kissing
down in large drops
Our hotel was situated on an eminence
overlooking the town. and as we slowly
asccnled to it in our cab we thought,
well, we must not be surprised to find
our intended abode for the night has
vanished"
However. presently we stopped in
front of a building which looked sub
stautial enough to withstand anything,
and in answer to our drivers application
to The bell the door was promptly opened
by a smartly attired porter He was
closely followed by a person full of
smiles and bows, who posted himself in
the doorway ready TO receive us.
All ut once there was terrific bang,
as though a forty FOUNDER had been fired
to welcome our anival, and he of the
smiles and bows was hurled headlong
against the muddy wheel of our convey
ancc by the slamming to of the large
door My wifc's bonnet blew off and
tugScd hard at its mornings; the light in
the porch was cNtinguiShcd, while the
wind seemed to give shrek of triumph
at The jokes he was playing upon us.
Hcrc we were, then, in total darkness
and exposed to the dronching rain. How
ever, half an hour aftcrward all our dis
comforts were forgotten as we sat down
to an excellent dinner In carte.
