There was a curious expression half spiteful, half frightened on his cunning face as he spoke. Guy looked at him carelessly. "Thank you; I am in no humor to listen to your confessions. You may be quite easy; I give you credit for all imaginable rascality.
"We must leave ourselves time," said Sort. "Think! They must be able to stand the judgment of the capital!" Pelle was impatient, and wanted to get the work quickly out of hand. Now there was only the question of a new suit. "Then buy it ready made on credit," said Sort. "Lasse and I will be good enough securities for a suit."
The ultimate effect of the collapse of credit, which depends on confidence, was that London could neither receive nor make payment.

My next point will be to make her acknowledge a lambent flame, a preference of me to all other men, at least: and then my happy hour is not far off.
Francois lost ground and credit by these successive treaties, conceived in bad faith, and not honestly carried out. Affairs were not unpromising.
