"Oh, yes," replied the aged Austrian, bowing low; "I shall not soon forget the charming conversation I had with your Highness, and I hope you, on your part, have not forgotten the cordial invitation you gave me to visit again your castle at Meran." "Indeed, Count, you know very well how glad I am to see you at any time, either in Vienna or at Meran."

Cadbury Taylor.
THE END.
