Two French merchantmen, 'Bonne Amie' and 'Indien, which had been in the roads for two days, had put themselves under the Prince's orders, and followed during the ceremony all the manoeuvers of the 'Belle Poule.

"Implore your cousin, darling Vera Vassilievna, to paint my portrait. I don't really care about the portrait, but to be with an artist to admire him, to speak to him, to breathe the same air with him! Ma pauvre tete, je deviens folle. Je compte sur vous, ma belle et bonne amie, et j'attends la reponse." "What answer shall I give her?" asked Vera, as Raisky laid the letter on the table.

Were this bosom thy world, dearest one, Thy world could not fail to be bright; For thou shouldst thyself be its sun, And what spot could be dim in thy light Bel' amie, bel' amie, bel' amie? The rich and the great woo thee dearest; and poor, Though his fathers were princes, thy young Troubadour!
