    J9 bouquet de cigare. My favourite perfume,” dear Jennie . Had you asked me an hour ago, I am sure I’d have lazily answered, “ My darling, I really don’t know.” For I’ve flirted with many a fragrance, And never been constant to one, But welcomed the roses of summer When the dainty spring blossoms were gone. I find it quite hard to be partial ; Most delicious the whole of them are ; So I’ll leave you the sweet-smelling flowers— My choice is “ bouquet de cigare.” That note that was brought me this morning (How it made my heart flutter and thrill!} Well, the scent of the weed he’d been smoking As he wrote it was clinging there still. And as I read on, dear, it mingled With words, oh! so welcome to me.: He loves me, he loves me! and, Jennie, Next summer a bridemaid you’ll be.
