I then experienced a surprise that gave to me a very great plsasur* and which made my heart to expand until It almost burst tbe restraint of that towel of the bath under tbe bag of my brown Cheviot coat. Before the door of the house of tbe beautiful Madam Whitworth stood tbe gray rac log car of my Buxx, and before il stood a slUn car of a simile r make, only It was of the darkest amethysl that seemed to be almost a black, while behind It stood one of equal if not superior elegance of shape which bad tbe beautiful blackness of Jet.
