The silver is very much alloyed; the Baron will give her a new service, and we shall bone a few thousand francs out of that. You owe what? two years' account with the dressmaker?"
When steel is alloyed with 1/500 part of platinum, or with 1/500 part of silver, it is rendered much harder, more malleable, and better adapted for all kinds of cutting instruments. In making alloys, care must be taken to have the more infusible metals melted first, and afterwards add the others.

He had a singular, though, as has been said, a very untrustworthy faculty of humour, both grim and quaint.
