RACHEL AND SAMSON.
101

Samson's house; at the last moment, however, the following note was received from Rachel:—

Dear Madame Samson,

When I promised to come to supper to you to-night, I forgot I had already told my mother I would go to her. I should be sorry to disappoint her. Present my compliments to Madame Arnould Plessy, who acted remarkably well.

Votre devouée,
Rachel.
