Well, wo agrocd and played right through until lato that night, with snort Intermissions for meals. Tho next day wo repeated tho program, and the day after that also, so that when wo started for Aix-les-Bains wo had seen nothing of Genova but tho hotel. I know that there is a beautiful lako there; I hear that Chll-Ion, Chll-Ion, with Its 'dungeon cell,' Is worth visiting, and that Genova and its surroundings sur-roundings aro chock full of 'sights,' but we saw nothing, and didn't care much, for we hod a great tlmo at bridge." |
