indefatigable no wheel in a cotton factory could spin round buicker pu icker kor or work for so many hours with less ais a apparent arent fatigue but she is going out on ze the balcony why she will catch her death of cold no she is accustomed to it A sailor walking the deck woul dent trouble himself hiim self less about bout colds than she d does oes all atmospheres are the same to her I 1 she is no fragile hothouse hot house plant plan but a hardy annual that will bloom any aay where up the chimney if you please or down in the cellar or by the side of the kitchen fire or at the bottom of

extraordinary ordina ry fatigue yea ices ale plenty t of i ices ces and biscuits varied occasionally occasions with a jelly and perhaps lat late in the evening the tiniest wl asb wing of a chicken with a little lobster sauce or a plovers plover agg or a bit of ble blancmange mange the whole of cl it down with not mot more than aalf half a a glass of champagne but I 1 have seen her eat a very good supper a I 1 of bf a guardsman in love bab it hasteen has been very late when there were very vary few persons in the room wad and she had a pleasant companion who made her laugh and I 1 kept
