1t was like this:
Bondy and his wife went away on a

one delight is his epicurean sauce,
which is mot only deliciously palata-
BILE, but excellent for the digestion. "
But it didn't quite satisfy the cpl
curean tastes of the portly colonel,
at that, and he wanted to improve it,
While the Bondy family was away
he labored in the kitchen wrestling
with pans, pots and kettles When the
Bondy family returned even the bath
was full of sauce. And the colonel
when reproached, was saucy. He was
saucy in court also, so Magistrate
House gave him two hours in the
