young lady of position should be. The young
man made such friends with the dog that the
dog introduced her mistress. You know how

something about dogs so friendly and cordial;
nothing formal and uppish. Well, that dog

thought Of Pauline Foulloy, who had beautiful

uncle would come to dine with them on Sun

very fond OF him and couldn't also help remenl-

uncle hadn't returned. Julien began to fear
