was a pretty animal of a German woman at table who amused me
much.   She was plump, deep-bosomed, hair worn in piquant tri-partite
style, & glossy; dressed a little outr�, blue scarf tied about her
neck, and little blue meshes about her wrists.  Very frank
was she, and ate extensively, chattering away in her own tongue at
a great rate with a fellow-countryman, & with her husband, a
bearded and spectacled Teuton.    /                 I left, went to
Erfords, leaving Charley dressing for execution.    Found Mr Hart,

Damoreau programme, talked awhile, & then back.  Once
more there.    Coach moved up the street, halted at side gate, &
the twain moved to the church,  we bottle holders following into the
Vestry.      Names &c  registred.        Charleys.  Then �Beatrice Prideaux,
born at Pisa, Italy,� (age I think 27 or 8.) So she said.       Waud &
