Presently Mary, whose partner declared how much he should like to see some photographs she had recently had taken of herself, with a well-affected giggle of embarrassment set off to the house to fetch her album. The minutes passed, and, as she did not return, Martha went in search of her.
The sultan complying with her request, dismissed the criminals; but prevailed on the cauzee to remain at his court, where for the remainder of his life this upright judge filled the high office of chief magistrate with honour to himself, and satisfaction to all who had causes tried before him; while he and his faithful partner continued striking examples of virtue and conjugal felicity.

I shall be by your side, your partner, step after step, as you mount the height, for I am ambitious, you know, William; and not less because I love, rather ten thousand times more so.

"Am I in your house?" he asked. "No; you are in the house of Citizen Vauquelas, Coursegol's business partner." "Vauquelas! How unfortunate!" "Why?" "Because, unless there are two individuals by that name, the master of this house is the friend of Robespierre, and one of the men who aided in the discovery of the plot formed by my companions and myself for the rescue of the queen."
