"Yes, sir," he replied, "but the doctor tells me I must begin to bathe to-morrow." "Very good. As soon as your horse is ready, set out and go to Madame F , but do not let her know you come from me, or suspect that you are a mere emissary of mine. Say that you want to speak to her.
And since the people of America love nothing better than being startled, Yardley's Weekly had acquired a circulation truly fabulous.

But the slaves betrayed the secret; and the lady employed certain gay and profligate young men, who were hangers-on of her own, to conceal themselves somewhere in the baths, and pounce upon Caelius's emissary with the poison in his possession. But this scheme was said to have failed. Clodia's detectives had rushed from their place of concealment too soon, and the bearer of the poison escaped.
An emissary was sent through the Illinois French settlements to describe the Spanish outrages on the lower Mississippi.
