A WELCOME PAKTING. 321 



We left the "Hotel de Pah-Squal" with very great 

 pleasure. Not because the board was objectionable on the 

 contrary, it had been very good ; not on account of the 

 lodging the lodging accommodation had been excessively 

 ample ; not because it was expensive. Oh no, we did not 

 object to it on any of these grounds ; but we did not like the 

 attendance. We may have been fastidious, perhaps we were, 

 but we did not want to stay there any longer. We had had 

 enough of that little game.
