"Which," remarked Father Grady, "is no compliment either to my singing, or your Eminence's preaching, or to both." "Oh, your singing is all right," assured Father Collins. "Well," said Father Grady, "I accept the correction. I am a modest man, but I must acknowledge that I can sing at least, relatively speaking, for I haven't very much to compete against.
He was speaking to the beautiful Marchioness G , to whom Gama had indiscreetly confided that I thought her the handsomest woman amongst his eminence's guests. "Her grace," said the Cardinal, "wishes to know whether you are making rapid progress in the French language, which she speaks admirably."

"In all probability he has," replied the valet, "for I saw the horses harnessed to his Eminence's carriage this morning, and when I asked where he was going, they told me, 'To St. Germain."
