CHAPTER XII

A, I. The foolish things which I said at my first bail cost me a severe scolding. 2. From time to time she whispered in her ear, 3. Before coming hère I lived at Buisson. 4. As for her ancestors, she cares nothing about them. 5. Let us hasten to obey our uncle. 6. Sl>e went to sleep and only wakened at three o'clock. 7. She brought forward an armchair in which she seated herself. 8. Let us not behave ourselves in such an unconventional way. 9. It is not in good taste. 10. I don't wish you to acquire habits which will make you pass for an îll-bred woman.

B. At her first bail she made her partners dance until they were tired out and when her uncle said that it was time to go, she called out from one end of the room to the other that he could only take her by the force of bayonets. When she was on the point of going to bed even, she began to waltz with her bolster, singing at the top of her voice. The next day her imcle requested her to come to his room, and said that if she did not obey him she should go no more into society, and then he had a violent fit of coughing.
