Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

A Paris correspondent of the Tribune, grossly misinformed, has written an error to that paper on Lakme.

At last, moved to admiration by his courage, Lakme ventures to ask by what god is he inspired.

He has cleverly surmised that Lakme was the attraction inducing the stranger to trespass on sacred ground.

The hero has left his comrades at the first opportunity and retraced his steps to the place he left Lakme.

The final rapturous tone has scarcely subsided when Lakme hears her father approach.
