"Monsieur Egger," exclaimed Mrs. Tootle, with a burst of good humour, "est-ce vrai ce qu'on dit que les Suisses sont si excessivement sujets a etre chez-malades?" The awful moment had come.
Mais non, mes opinions sont en effet changees avec ma fortune, et, dans l'evenement heureux dont je profite, j'ai reellement decouvert la raison determinante qui jusque-la m'avait manque." The influence of prosperity acts still more freely upon the American than upon strangers.
