Sammy Tubbs, the boy doctor, and "Sponsie," the troublesome monkey . girl is the daughter of Mr. Barkenstir, thewealthy cotton-broker who lives in Fifth name is Julia, and Sammy is quite rightin supposing that she is a magnificent-lookingyoung lady. The Indian girl is the niece andadopted daughter of old Mrs. Beckendecker, a rel-ict of one of the old Knickerbocker families resid-ing on Lexington Avenue. The nose of this younglady is quite too prominent to harmonize well THE TROUBLESOME MONKEY. 59 with her other features, but she is really a hand-some brunette, bearing the rare name of Marvellie,while her more successful rival is a sweet-lookingblonde. While I have been telling you all this the qua-drille has been concluded, and the young peoplehave repaired to their dressing-rooms to fix up alittle, and give time to arrange the parlors for thelecture. With your leave your reporter will goout and take an airing while these preparations arebeing made, and then he will give you all furtherparticulars of the Biddlewicker party in CHAPTER VIII. THE LECTURE—SAMMYS ADMIRERS SECURE THEFRONT SEATS—THE WAY IN WHICH WE HEAR,ETC.—THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE PEASANTGIRL AND INDIAN GIRL FOR SAMMY—THELATTER WINS—AND DESERTS HIM WHEN SHEFINDS HE IS BLACK—THE GRACIOUS ACT OFTHE PEASANT GIRL—THE TRIUMPH OF SAM-MYS NOBILITY OF MIND. CASUAL peep throughthe lace curtains, which(have the ingenious absurd-ity of concealing everythingby daylight and of reveal-ing everything by gaslight,presents to our visualorgans the evidence thatthe young people are allseated, and are either lis-tening to, or waiting for,the young lecturer. Wewill therefore re-enter theparlors of the Biddlewickers. Be quiet! Sammy
