THE FLORAL TELEGRAPH. Ill 
“ Hitherto, I see that you have been 
recording, in that book of yours, your 
own remarks as well as mine. That 
is wrong. You may be a very plea¬ 
sant gentleman, but what does the 
world care for what you think or say ? 
As the use of letters caused all the 
miseries of Violetta, I have invented 
another method of correspondence. 
Now listen to me and record, so shall 
my imprisonment in this desert be no 
more, and shortly this place be no 
more a desert. Write as follows to 
the ladies.”
