11/42 It has come to you over a new route, by a new and express train of associations. Thus, a certain lecturer, after performing in an inland city, where dwells a Litteratrice of note, was invited to meet her and others over the social teacup. "Yes," he replied, "I am like the Huma, the bird that never lights, being always in the cars, as he is always on the wing."-- Years elapsed. The lecturer visited the same place once more for the same purpose. Another social cup after the lecture, and a second meeting with the distinguished lady. |
