I was only able to ask of the Count de Vergennes, as a particular favor, that he would permit me to wait on him some day that week. Our conversation began with the usual topic; that the trade of the United States had not yet learned the way to France, but continued to centre in England, though no longer obliged by law to go there.
Excuse me, but I must insist upon THIS, and that you dropped down upon me and Sadie Collinson exactly as you have dropped down here upon her husband." "Enough of this!" said Riggs angrily. "I admit the woman is part and parcel of the gang, and gets her share, or you get it for her," he added sneeringly; "but that doesn't permit her to mix herself with my family affairs."
"I wish I could help you," she said; "but I think my husband will make you well." Rachel colored. "I never permit myself to hope for it," she replied. "If I did, I should be discontented at once." "Why! are you contented as it is?" exclaimed Hetty impetuously. "Oh, yes!" said Rachel.
