As applied to the earthly tabernacle of madame's generous soul, the effect of that impassioned address was ludicrous. But Felix recked little of that. He threw the hundred-franc note on the counter. "There, ma petite, be rewarded for your trust," he cried. "Now give me the railway timetable; for I have far to go ere I return, when you and I shall crack a bottle of Clos Vosgeot with our dinner."
Then, taking from his pocket-book several hundred-franc notes, he doubled them up and placed them on the table. "Ah!" said the old man. "I see! You want to buy my secret! No, take your money!" he cried, pushing it back towards him contemptuously. "I want none of it." "Because you are now earning an honest living," Benton sneered. "Yes and Il Passero knows it!" was Cataldi's bold reply.
"If she knows me, or if the candle girl knows me, I'll give you a thousand francs instead of five hundred. Now, here is the money for François" he handed the sacristan a hundred-franc note "and here are five hundred francs for you. I shall come on Tuesday, ready for work. When do you want me?" "At six o'clock," answered the sacristan doubtfully. "But what shall I say if anyone asks me about it?"
Lady Beltham must, indeed, have been generous and have made the man perfectly easy on the score of his own future. "In one of the pockets of the clothes," Nibet went on, "I have put ten hundred-franc notes; you asked for more, but I could not raise it: we can settle that some other time." Gurn made no comment.

One day, however, it occurred to Florent in all artlessness to ask his uncle to change a hundred-franc note for him, and after this the pork butcher showed less alarm at sight of the lads, as he called them. Still, their friendship got no further than these infrequent visits. These years were like a long, sweet, sad dream to Florent.
"Fifty and hundred-franc notes." A moment later she was in the street with the notes in a small bundle in the bosom of her wrap. She went hurriedly up the street. As she was about to turn the corner into the boulevard she on impulse glanced back.
Always well but quietly dressed, her nationality was as obscure as her past. To the staff she was always polite, and she pressed hundred-franc notes into many a palm in the Rooms. But who she was or what were her antecedents nobody in the Principality of Monaco could ever tell. The whole Cote d'Azur from Hyeres to Ventimiglia knew of her.
Then he counted out ten hundred-franc notes and laid them out upon the desk. But before I could touch them he laid his large bony hands over the lot and, looking me straight between the eyes, he said with earnest significance: "English files are worth as much as twenty francs apiece in the market." "I know."
Moreover Aristide made no change in his mode of living as long as any money was left in the house. When he had reached the last hundred-franc note he felt rather nervous. He was seen prowling about the town in a suspicious manner. He no longer took his customary cup of coffee at the club; he watched feverishly whilst play was going on, without touching a card.
"Wear this always, and think of me, Justine," he said. "You are the only woman who ever loved me, and, if I succeed, I swear you shall share my better fortunes if not, then " he crushed her to his breast and ran out of the room, before she could drag him back. "Go in, Francois, quickly to Miss Justine," cried Hawke, thrusting a hundred-franc note in the butler's open hand.
