The members shall afterward communicate their several impressions, and ballot on his admission accordingly.

Moreover, before complete admission, the said Carolus shall undergo a noviciate of one month, during which time he shall not have the right to call us by our first names or take our arm in the street.
On the day of reception, a splendid banquet shall be given at the expense of the new member, at a cost of not less than twelve francs." This amendment was adopted by three votes against one.

He had not long to wait for him.

Barbemuche soon appeared, carrying in his hand three huge bouquets of roses.
"Hullo!" cried the astonished Colline.
