gallantries



how could the flogger of urchins
be otherwise than
animated
and joyous

the

lady of his uncouth gallantries and
though
he had read several books quite

through and was
thought by all who
understood

nothing of the trooper having been
suddenly dismissed
by the shifting
throng that forms the
population of most of our country
places
