"We heard you spoken of in Bosekop, and we came to see if you would permit us the honor of your acquaintance." The old man struck his pine-staff violently into the ground, and his face flushed wrathfully. "Bosekop!" he exclaimed. "Talk to me of a wasp's nest! Bosekop!
With those kind words he laid down the cue and left me. Inquiry at the servants' offices informed me that Rosanna had retired to her own room. She had declined all offers of assistance with thanks, and had only asked to be left to rest in quiet. I reported the result to Mr. Franklin, who, thereupon, left the library, and went up to bed.
This rat was the prisoner's darling; the guard said that he would draw blood from his arm to feed it. The good dominie who knew his business instantly seized upon the rat for his cue.
