A friend came in, when she asked with unaffected sincerity whether she had really sung "assez bien" on Monday night, and broke into a fit of the merriest laughter when she received the answer, "Très bien pour une petite fille." "Alboni," writes this friend, "is assuredly for a great artist the most unpretending and simple creature in the world.
The stranger eyed us suspiciously, and then, after a moment's hesitation, said that he had heard that Mejia was "on the war-path." "Where?" asked Carmen. "They say he was at Tres Cruces three days ago; and there has been fighting." "And are any of Morale's people also on the war-path?" "That is more than I can tell you, señores.
