I seized the opportunity of telling Madame Morin that I was astonished at the likeness, that her very voice was like that of my Venetian M M , and I begged her to obtain me the privilege of breakfasting with her niece the next day, and of presenting her with a dozen pounds of capital chocolate.

Madame Morin overwhelmed me with thanks for my entertainment, and I gave each of my lady-visitors a respectful kiss.

M. Thury found the cold due to evaporation to be considerably less than 1° F., and he and M.
