But zen, presently, one of those Brazilian ladies said it was a shame to put all the blame on dear Mr.Percivail, who is such a gentleman and so splendid and all zat,--and zen--then zat Mrs.Block jump up and say that if it was not for Mr.Percivail her husband would have been killed last week when he fell off of the landing into ten sousand feet of water.

And the great Careni-Amori she get up and say she would die for Mr.Percivail because he is such a gentleman, and two of those nurses at the same time cry out that he ought to be in the hospital because he is so worn-out working for other people zat he can hardly drag his poor feet around.

And so it goes.

Miss Clinton has departed, her chin in the air.

But she does not deceive me.
