Rollo, observing that this young lady appeared not to be particularly afraid of him, thought he would accost her.
"Do you speak French?" said he in French, as he was walking slowly by her. He supposed from her appearance that she was a French girl, and so he spoke to her in that language.
The girl replied, not in French, but in English,—
"Yes, and English too."
"How did you know that I spoke English?" said Rollo, speaking now in English himself.
"By your looks," said the girl.
"What is your name?" asked Rollo.
"Tell me your name first," said the girl.
"My name is Rollo," said Rollo.
"And mine," replied the stranger, "is Minnie."
