Napoleon, rising from the table took from a private drawer, two very beautiful brooches, richly set with those jewels. One he gave to Gohier, the other to his tried friend Desaix. "It is a little toy," said he, "which we republicans may give and receive without impropriety."
But Lord! how many people it takes to marry a man like Chilvers! How sacred the union must be! Pray take a paragraph more: "The four bridesmaids Miss etc., etc. wore cream crepon dresses trimmed with turquoise blue velvet, and hats to match.
