THREE DAUGHTERS OF FRANCE.
_Chateau ----, France_.
_To_ M. PUNCH.
CHER MONSIEUR,--Shall I write to you of the toil, the fatigues which
my sisters and I must endure at the hands of our country's Allies,
without kindling in your breast that flame of chivalry which is the
common glory of our two races? _C'est incroyable_.
Let us then to my complaint.
We lived for many years, my two sisters and I, in the service of our
dear master, who owned a beautiful chateau in the North of France.
Our duties were simple--to entertain the guests of M. le Vicomte after
dinner on those evenings upon which he gathered his friends around
him.
For the rest we lived in the ease which his kind generosity knew how
to provide. We loved our own particular boudoir, with its books, its
pictures, its comfortable fauteuils and its soft green cushions.
