Catherine: A Story

CHAPTER I
18/29

Could you but have seen the smile on Jack Churchill's grave face at this piece of generosity! So, beckoning Colonel Cadogan up to him, he pinched his Ear and whispered-- CAPTAIN.

"May I have the honour to dance a minuet with your Ladyship ?" The whole room was in titters at Jack's blunder; for, as you know very well, poor Lady Susan HAS A WOODEN LEG.

Ha! ha! fancy a minuet and a wooden leg, hey, my dear ?-- MRS.CATHERINE.

Giggle--giggle--giggle: he! he! he! Oh, Captain, you rogue, you-- SECOND TABLE.

Haw! haw! haw! Well you be a foony mon, Sergeant, zure enoff.
***** This little specimen of the conversation must be sufficient.
