He is part lawyer, part doctor part artist and wholly a fool. Dont mind the strength of my language he deserves it. Then there are two Greek girls who speak five languages and their friend a Miss Hale also a Boston girl, she is engaged to their brother. One of the Greek girls is going to be married to a Russian ambassador and the other is to be maid of honour to the Greek queen. I suppose that is a great honour. Miss Hale was studying for the Opera but when she struck the royal Greek it parallized her artistic career. Then there a German girl who has just gone to sing in a concert in Denmark. And last but not least two Danish girls who are studying music. One has a beautiful voice. They all range from homely to very homely except Miss Hale, and she is too new. She has been engaged four times and prides herself on being a heart breaker. She looks as all the girls in Paris do as if they had been off on an extended [[?]]. Madame who runs the house is about fifty, has frowselly bangs and is a typical French woman of her age. The Doctor who owns the place is a [[strikethrough]] sll [[/strikethrough]] sly old fox and [[strikethrough]] usul [[/strikethrough]]
