Steele every moment and insist I understand only English. Baron de Bach observes a day or two after this: "Señorita's knowledge of French and Jherman ees better zome days dthan odthers.

Prawle gave me a sharp glance. "Gude? No, t'was arrm we done, vrom ztart to finish had trouble all the time. What a man cude du, the skipper did. When yu caan't du right, zome calls it 'Providence'! 'Tis all my eye an' Betty Martin! What I zay es, 'tis these times, there's such a dale o' folk, a dale of puzzivantin' fellers; the world's to small."
I vill hope to teach Señorita zome day dthat Peruvians air no liars." "Ah, Baron," I say deprecatingly, "I never meant that, you didn't understand me I " "No," he interrupts "I know dthat often I understand you not and zometimes it ees my so bad Eenglish dthat ees to blame.
