Adele, during her doll days, possessed such boxes of satin and velvet scraps, and bits of lace and ribbon and jet as to make her the envy of all her playmates.

"Your pardon, captain," said the sergeant, "but you are uttering many words that no maiden should hear." "Do you dare to argue with me, you foul-tongued camp scavenger?" shouted Gallus.
