Zoe turned round on him, fixed her glorious eyes full upon his face, and said, rather imperiously, "Mr. Severne, who is Ina Klosking?" Mr. Severne looked up blankly in her face, and said nothing.

By the EARL OF CHESTERFIELD on the Fine Art of becoming a and a BATH, November 15, 1756 MY DEAR FRIEND: I received yours yesterday morning together with the Prussian, papers, which I have read with great attention.

The advent of a hundred great personages in Vienna naturally brought other distinguished visitors there and the gayeties that supervened, now that the wars were a thing of the past, occupied the time and attention of the visitors to such an extent that for three months nothing of a business nature was attempted by the Congress.
