"I have adopted Mademoiselle," said I to Antoinette this morning.

"If she returned to Asia Minor they would put a string round her neck, tie her up in a sack, and throw her into the sea." "That would be a pity," said Antoinette, warmly.
"_Cela depend_," said I."Anyhow she is here, and here she remains." "In that case," said Antoinette, "has Monsieur considered that the poor angel will need clothes and articles of toilette--and this and that and the other ?" "And shoes to hide her shameless tus," I said.
"They are the most beautiful toes I have ever seen!" cried Antoinette in imbecile admiration.

She has bewitched that old woman already.
I put on my hat and went to Wellington Road to consult Mrs.McMurray.
Heaven be thanked, thought I, for letting me take her little boy the day before yesterday to see the other animals, and thus winning a mother's heart.

She will help me out of my dilemma.

Unfortunately she was not alone.
