CHAPTER LXV
6/13

He was noisy in the gentlemen's dressing-room.

The stories he told there were of such a character, and he told them so loudly, that more than once some husband, whose wife was in the neighboring room, had remonstrated with him.

Sligo Moultrie, during one of the winters that he passed in the city after his marriage, had a fierce quarrel with Abel for that very reason.

They would have come to blows but that their friends parted them.
