And thought I'd write YOU just Ane

Twas thus she wrote unto the swain
Who scarce q month ago
Had placed a diamond glittering

spotted dorsal fin undulating loosely
athwart the broad back; of the per
petual tanning of the pectoral fins. of

luminous brown eye, the ceaseless
slow vibration of the powerful tail:
nor can pen adequately describe the
startling suddenness of the dart at

and the resumption of the poise with
head elevated at a slight angle, pee
