But at present he has everything in his power; and he puts an absolute condition upon his services." "What is the condition?" "Five millions down; and an annual pension of a hundred thousand francs."
Thus, thanks to the immense resource of the affair of the medals, we can not only brave all eventualities, but we can again powerfully establish ourselves, thanks to the offer of the Duke d'Orbano, which we accept; and then, from that inassailable centre, our radiations will be incalculable.
