We went to the opera, the theatre, to museums, concerts, and I can't tell where all.

The Sunday before I left I accompanied her to church, and after service, as we were coming out, she introduced me to Miss Van Cote and her mamma.

Mrs.Van Cote was kind enough to invite me to her grand ball." "And did you go ?" interrupted Mr.Garie.
"Of course, I did--and what is more, as old Mr.Priestly has given up balls, he begged me to escort Clara and her aunt." "Well, Winston, that is too rich," exclaimed Mr.Garie, slapping his hand on the table, and laughing till he was red in the face; "too good, by Jove! Oh! I can't keep that.

I must write to them, and say I forgot to mention in my note of introduction that you were a coloured gentleman.

The old man will swear till everything turns blue; and as for Clara, what will become of her?
A Fifth-avenue belle escorted to church and to balls by a coloured gentleman!" Here Mr.Garie indulged in another burst of laughter so side-shaking and merry, that the contagion spread even to the little girl in Mrs.Garie's arms, who almost choked herself with the tea her mother was giving her, and who had to be hustled and shaken for some time before she could be brought round again.
"It will be a great triumph for me," said Mr.Garie.
