Rushing upon Loony, Dagobert seized him by the collar, and exclaimed: "Who gave you leave to introduce any one here without my permission?" "Pardon, M. Dagobert!" said Loony, throwing himself on his knees, and clasping his hands with an air of idiotic entreaty.
"And this medal and these papers were afterwards delivered to your confessor?" "Yes, my dear." "And Gabriel never spoke of them since?" "Never."
