But here was a red faced man, sun burnt • and with sticking-plaster on his lips, who said he was a citizen of Reno 1 .Where was , Reno ! Was there any such place ? Was he not a bath imposter, pretending to know my husband in order to ingratiate himielt into my esteem before beset fire to the house and carried off my Bismarck silk drese and our beat china ?
