We walked and talked together, ate ice cream at the fashionable saloons, drove shining livery horses at a 2:40 speed, played croquet tin the soft, green sward, while Flos, the om n jMvst nt pest, would lie constantly in at t m'. ince. and I really felt my patiei ce ,. .. , Ai..,t g ve v..iy occasionally, aim t -inpted to give him a kick or two oeca s'.m idy.

It was just a week before I was to lead my charming Amelia to the altar and sac rifice in v !' to her in the hand of wed lock. She had invited me to a private hu c'i- Onietiv seated on my left with Flos in her lap, with a delicate blue rib bon round his neck, which showed b au tiful in contrast with the snowy whiteness of his silken curls a splendid subject for Baffal, thought I, and yet I detested the beast because Amelia loved him and I was to blame.

The tins of old Dobsin's boot was what was the matter.
