and an early bookjack。 And there was a plaster cast
of the head of a man who was assassinated about sixty

some of great interest； some of none at all。 I bought a

a comely blue…eyed damsel； a princess； maybe。 I bought
them to start a portrait…gallery of my ancestors with。
I paid a dollar and a half for the duke and a half
for the princess。 One can lay in ancestors at even
cheaper rates than these； in Europe； if he will mouse
among old picture shops and look out for chances。
