in sad earnest. And now, fair sir, for your own person — if you tell not the tale faster, it will be cut short in the middle; Mother Bridget pauses longer and ATJ longer every
time she phies the window, and with her there is as little mirth as in the grave of your ancestors." "My tale is soon told — I was introduced into the castle XTC
of Avenel to be page to the lady of the mansion." "She is a strict Huguenot, is she not?" said the maiden. "As strict as Calvin himself. But my grandmother can YQXVHYJEJ play
