Frowenfeld was silent. "My-de'-seh, recollect that to us the Grandissime name is a treasure. And what has preserved it so long?

"Monday before last?" She slightly bowed.
When at last I saw him, he says, 'Madame, this is the other Honoré Grandissime. There, you see we are the victims of a conspiracy; if I go to the other, he will send me back to the first. But, Clotilde, my darling," cried the beautiful speaker, beamingly, "dismiss all fear and care; we shall have no more trouble about it." "And how, indeed, do you know that?"
