Capitolo 21
Duchesses", you thought that I was about to furnish some spicy scandal around
gentleman tall-put; and You straightways started to read my composition. That
show I exactly interpreted Your human nature. There is a quantity of human creature
nature that flies almost not recognized. Still when I said duchesses, me indeed

These comments are forced on me from one bright afternoon on the

noticed for him as American and really superior women I am, on the
middle, to the men of their kind. I don't mean only that they is
