I entertained the Company, as we Men of Gallantry generally do, with the many Haps and Disasters, Watchings under Windows, Escapes from jealous Husbands, and several other Perils. The young Thing was wonderfully charmed with one that knew the World so well, and talked so fine; with Desdemona, all her Lover said affected her; it was strange,'twas wondrous strange.
The little quarrels, the reconciliations, the coquetries, the jealousies, the reproaches, the forgivenesses all the characteristic and endearing haps of the Maytime of life precious indeed are these retrospections to the hungry eyes of age! She wed with the perfumer's apprentice; but that was so very long ago that I can pardon, if not forget, the indiscretion. Who knows where she is to-day?
"Yes, Miss Herbey," I replied, "and how sorrowful it is that we can do nothing for him, absolutely nothing." "Hush!" she said, with her wonted consideration, "per- haps he will hear what we are saying." And then she sat down near the edge of the raft, where, with her head resting on her hands, she remained lost in thought. An incident sufficiently unpleasant occurred to-day.
This small, empty place, oblong in form, at once bright and quiet, with a cer- tain grass-grown look, offers an excellent setting to the entrance-front of the palace, the wing of Louis XII.

The personality of Crusoe is not advanced a whit by his wonderful experiences; he is done entirely from the outside.
Of all the little haps and mishaps to the Spray at Port Angosto, of the many attempts to put to sea, and of each return for shelter, it is not my purpose to speak.
