This was the foundation of William Carter's fortune; and it is worthy of remark, that both the gift of the egg, and the opportunity of hatching it, he owed to acts of thoughtful good-nature on his own part. In due time the goslin appeared, and Billy fed it from his own scanty fare, taking it with him when he was herding.
"Messieurs," Goslin commenced, and speaking in French began apologising at being compelled to call them together so soon after their last meeting. "The matter, however, is of such urgency," he went on, "that this conference is absolutely necessary. I am here in Sir Henry's place, with a statement from him an alarming statement.
