the as.si.s(auce of iVi^nds well acquaint

But ot his many invitations one had

to be iiiiWxiueod to her, for
tbev Imd'.iever met: Their families had
ill i'Tench fashion, made i p the match,
and the two persons whom English
people would have considered most in
kuvsted had nevur cornu together at all.
This was Monday. On Wednesday
week there was to be a state dinner at
the French Lmlwssv, followed.by introdneing a
ball, for the purpose of
Monsieur Alphonso to the daughter ot
Maiquis do la Punt hie re, Freneti Am

morning at an earlv Ii mr, had sent-„p
card, and hadbee , duly received

ken his first le-s u u at once. She was
not at all like the dancing-mistress
whom, from the description given him bv
the fnernls who had recommended
to apply to her, lie had expected to see.
