verbally, and his two plain
daughters bore him to tears,
Then Mlle. de Ste-Euverte, a
beautiful woman who has
guarded, her virtue ever since a
magical waltz with the General
many years before, returns to
claim his love. He evades the
issue, and she, in despair, turns
to the General's priggish young

dor.
