A pull from Ashby's brandy-flask partly restored Russell's strength, but more was accomplished by his joy at this unexpected deliverance. Terror also came to his aid and lent him strength, and he was now more anxious than any of them to fly from this awful prison-house.
Remonencq always asked advice of Elie Magus when he met him in the streets; and more than once Magus had lent him money through Abramko, knowing Remonencq's honesty. The Chaussee des Minimes is close to the Rue de Normandie, and the two fellow-conspirators reached the house in ten minutes. "You will see the richest dealer in curiosities, the greatest connoisseur in Paris," Remonencq had said.
The black's eye seemed to kindle a little at George's fire, but all the rest of him was as cool as a cucumber. He let George shake his hand and said quietly, "Thank you, sar! Jacky thank you a good deal!" he added in the same breath; "suppose you lend me a knife, then we eat a good deal." George lent him his knife, and to his surprise the savage slipped into the water again.
Being asked, Whether he has reason to believe that the interest really paid by the Nabob, upon obligations given, or money lent, did not frequently exceed twelve per cent? he said, Prior to the 1st of August, 1774, he had had reason to believe that a higher interest than twelve per cent was paid by the Nabob on moneys lent to him; but from and after that period, when the last act of Parliament took place in India, he does not know that more than twelve per cent had been paid by the Nabob, or received from him.
He rose up, encountered the stern looks of the men by one as fierce as theirs, and said hoarsely: 'I withdraw the accusation! The young woman's story is a fabrication. I I lent, gave the fellow the note myself. A storm of execration 'Coquin! voleur! scélérat! burst forth at this confession, received by Derville with a defiant scowl, as he stalked out of the apartment.
And then we all agreed that the way to answer Satan is in Scripture words. I think Sharley was right in saying that the first beginning of the sin in the Garden of Eden was when Eve listened to the serpent lent her ear to one who dared to ask such a question as "Hath God said?"
Hence it is that the Church has set apart this season of Lent to come round to us year by year as a season of special thought and prayer and self-denial. Many other times and seasons come to us laden with the same spiritual influences, and to be used by us as times of reflection, inspiration, purification, and strengthening.
"The other day an old Friend sent me 10 pounds, which was one half of what he said he had borrowed of me thirty years ago! I told him that, on my honour, I wholly forgot ever having lent him any money. I could only remember once refusing to lend him some. So here is one man who remembered his Debts better than his Creditor did. "I will ask Newson about the Cork Jacket.
"Tell nurse from me that she is not to scold you any more. The loss of your money ought to be a lesson to you." "But I didn't lose it, uncle. I lent it to Jack. He wouldn't let me give it to him; he said he would send it back to me in a letter." Sir Edward laughed unbelievingly, and Milly trotted upstairs to be received with open arms by nurse at the nursery door. "There! never mind, my dear.
General Corbineau a few moments after received an order from his Majesty, and not finding some money he wished at Monsieur de Meneval's quarters, came to me, and I gave it to him from the Emperor's private purse; at the end of a few hours I met Monsieur de Meneval, to whom I rendered an account of General Corbineau's request, and the sum I had lent him.
