Then "Bless the friendly dust," I said,
"That hides thy unlamented head!
Vain as thou wert, and weak as vain,
The slave of Falsehood, Pride, and Pain--
My heart has nought akin to thine;

NUM 27:22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua,

for the next quadrille?'
Artless confusion colored the Countess' white cheeks.
"But, monsieur, I have already refused one partner--a military
man----"
"Was it that tall cavalry colonel whom you see over there?"
"Precisely so."
