Our ladies, being still in a furious mood of sight-seeing, desired to visit the University of Havana, and, having made appointment with an accomplished Cuban, betook themselves to the College buildings with all proper escort.

Nay, hold, and let me recover, quoth he; so Mr. Great-heart fairly let him get up.
