If Mrs. Dallas was a bore--and her friends said she was--the daughter was divine, and many young men came to The Wigwam to be spellbound by her dark beauty. More men than the three who had dined at "Ashantee" were in love with Isabella. "Yes, sir, she do. Arsked me 'bout it, but I knowed nuffin, I didn't.".
