He's got George's letters all wore out, reading them, to people. Jonathan? DR. JONATHAN. Somewhere in France. MINNIE. We spotted Bert because he's with the Marines, at that place where they put a crimp in the Huns the other day when they were going to walk into Paris. DR. JONATHAN. Chateau-Thierry. MINNIE.

Joyeuse will not dare to bring her with him in my presence. Besides, we are not going to a ball, and the race we shall run would fatigue a lady." "Where are you going, monseigneur?" "To France.

"Diable! this, then, is where you must try to aid me." "How?" "By persuading her to go in an opposite direction." "You do not know my mistress, monsieur; she is not easily persuaded.
