User-Contributed Transcription 241 to their gentlemen guests, than to the ladies, when it was necessary to choose between them. - There was a Count Dornhoff introduced to me; I did not catch his name at first; & after a moment he laughed & said, "mais vous me prenez pour un Francais"! Je suis Allemand"! "Allemand mais pas Prussien? "Mais oui, Prussien de Berlin meme, je suis de la Legation." - I was so astonished that we both laughed, & laughed! It was so comical to find myself talking to an abhorred Prussian; I not only talked but danced half a dozen times with him, & he waltzed delightfully. - They got up an impromptu "Cotillon", & he led with Annie & kept asking me out all the time! My partner was a Monsieur Bixon, & genuine specimen of a Parisian exquiste; not my style of man at all, big; broadshouldered masculin, but a delicately made creature, with soft brown eyes, & brilliant white teeth under a moustache curled up at the ends. -
