I bore as much of it as ! could with a
cheerful face, l escaped as often as

But even there l was not always al

plump little person in profuse orna-
mentation of diamonds, diamond rings
and brooches, with little or no educa-
ton, and a reputation for saying
risky things in laundering French
whereof the principal humor lay in
the uncertainty as to whether she

American ladies of society had re-
fused to receive her, and she had
vowed to be revenged on them by
marrying Alma to the highest title in
Europe that could be bought with
