The leader then told him that they had agreed to let him off for his own share with a much smaller payment than had been demanded, provided he would obtain a largesse for them from the King, his master.
'Go and lie down among my horseboys for tonight thou and the lama. Tomorrow I may give thee service. Kim slunk away, his teeth in the bread, and, as he expected, he found a small wad of folded tissue-paper wrapped in oilskin, with three silver rupees enormous largesse. He smiled and thrust money and paper into his leather amulet-case.
So, leisurely, and with studied ignorance of his presence, she flung largesse of centissimi to right and left, and, while the chorus of blessing and entreaty was yet loud, walked calmly past M. Destournelle down the wide, shallow steps, from the solid shadow of the portico to the burning sun-glare of the piazza. The young man's countenance went livid.
"C'est bien la liberte!" "On lit parfaitement libertas." Not so, my good M. Didron! a very different personage, this; of whom more, presently, though the letters of her name are indeed so plainly, 'Libertas, at non liberalitas, liberalitas being the Latin for largesse, not for franchise.
