to where the journalist was sitting with
party. and presented it to him. saying:
"Mademoiselle, who admires your talent has
requested me 10 present you with this souvenir
from her"
The critic took It and opened IT before his
friends. who had heard the dandys little speech
1t contained about dozen goose quilts. and smiles
and suppressed laughter went round.
But the critic equal to the occasion
