'To the deuce with you! would be a fair translation of the exalted lady's reply. She railed at his insufferable pride. 'And you were wrong, wrong, she pursued. 'You offended the prince mightily: you travestied his most noble ancestor 'In your service, may it please you. 'You offended, offended him, I say, and you haven't the courage to make reparation.
"J.R.G.," as we loved to call him, took up my efforts with the warmest encouragement, tempered, indeed, by constant fears that I should become a hopeless bookworm and dryasdust, yielding day after day to the mere luxury of reading, and putting nothing into shape!
