Bok

There were some thirty men in the party; the affair was an exceedingly happy one; the happiest that Bok had attended.

Bok acquiesced, and a few days afterward received from Mr. Blaine a request to come to Washington.

Bok read them with absorbed interest, and bided his time for action.

Once more he threw open the breech and loaded—and fired, though by this time the bok were seven or eight hundred yards away.

Hofmann had a wider knowledge of affairs than other musicians whom Bok had met; he had not narrowed his interests to his own art.
