Excerpt from The Climbing Courvatels

Once upon a time a small party of Ameri can friends went from Paris, by Seine boat and by bicycle, to a charmingly absurd little resort on the banks of the river Marne, where they had lunch on the lawn, between the river and the old brick inn. There came to them an itinerant sleight-of-hand performer with off er of entertainment, but one there was among the Americans so much more skillful than the pro fessional in legerdemain that he who came to amaze remained in amazement. However, the professional did entertain: he told tales of many who followed his calling, of some who had once followed it but now were admired members of sedate society.
