It was therefore necessary for him to adopt the other. He then unfolded his plan to his confidential friends, La Fougere, De Fazy, Palette, the sons of Marechal Biron, and others.

Must she send missionaries abroad to preach despotism? Walking the other evening with M. Fazy, who is, of course, French in education, we talked of our English literature. He. had Hamlet in French just think of it.
Mrs. C. and her two daughters are here from Paris. They intend to come to Madame Fazy till we leave. Saturday, July 16. Our whole company resorted to the lake, and spent the forenoon on its tranquil waters.
I raised a piercing cry; Fazy instantly turned back the wheel, and the blood gushed from my fingers. In the extremity of consternation he hastened to me, embraced me, and besought me to cease my cries, or he would be undone. In the height of my own pain, I was touched by his; I instantly fell silent, we ran to the pond, where he helped me to wash my fingers and to staunch the blood with moss.
