ever patronize 1t more than once on

There are no prices on the bill OF

was presented to him. Thirty francs
for melon! You are joking!"
Monsieur" said Bignon. IF you
can find three or four at the same
price I will buy them"
Fifteen francs for a peach!" said
a Russian prince on another occasion
"They must be very scarce"
1T isn't the peaches that are scarce

Bignon.
