last evening. Through having to attend a meeting of
the City Council, he did not keep his appointment
by three-quarters of an hour. We stayed together till
11 o'clock and then had to break up somewhat abruptly
to return to our quarters or we might have been kept

and he said the month had not yet expired. He
