This > second in com-, mand was so high -and mighty that he in-, sisted upon the lady explaining her business first to-the secretary. This she did, and the secretary in turn, as sho sat there, transmitted the business to the second in command; The. latter then gave his answer, to the secretary, who, with due solemnity,. repeated it to the lady.
