The Story of Paul Boyton

CHAPTER XI
32/63

He told the officer that he did not know one of his friends who would not rather participate in a duel than be invited to a banquet.

When the warrior parted from Paul he was stuffed fell of harrowing yarns, all of which he seemed to believe, at least his demeanor was much more gentle than when he had entered the hotel.

Paul remained in Buda Pesth two weeks longer than he expected, during which time he was a frequent visitor at the home of the fair Irene, where he was always welcomed by herself and parents.
Then followed a trip through the principal cities of Hungary.
He then went to Italy where on the 4th of November, 1876, he started on a long voyage down the Po from Turin to the Adriatic, a distance of about six hundred and seventy miles.

He was determined to make this trip in one continuous run, intending it as a feat to test his endurance.

All the inhabitants of Turin seemed to have turned out to see him start.
