In any case, she was in my house: that consideration helped me to treat her with something of courtesy. "I am very old, Mademoiselle," I answered her, "and I am very much afraid that your advice comes to me rather late in life. Still, I will think about it. In the meanwhile let me beg of you to be calm. I think a glass of eau sucree would do you good!"

I'll show you what a good friend a North American can be." "My gude friend haf make my head zo ache I dthink it vill burst." He pushes back his cap, and carries my hand to his forehead; it is very hot and the temples throb under my fingers. "Poor fellow!" I say, hoping with might and main that no one sees. "Shall I send you some eau de Cologne?" "No! no! If you vould gif me your hand again."

In Eau Clair, Wisconsin, I spoke at the races immediately after the passing of a procession of cattle. At the end of the procession rode a woman in an ox-cart, to represent pioneer days.
