Although Monroe had already arrived in Paris and was now apprised of this sudden turn of affairs, Livingston went alone to the Treasury Office and there in conversation, which was prolonged until midnight, he fenced with Marbois over a fair price for Louisiana. The First Consul, said Marbois, demanded one hundred million francs. Livingston demurred at this huge sum.
And there I stood, trembling with agitation, and ready to spring forward at the proper time to prevent the consummation of a bloody tragedy. Mr. Livingston suddenly looked up from his letters, and started when he beheld the pale and wrathful countenance of Mrs. Raymond, whose eyes were fixed upon him with an expression of the most deadly hatred.
I think I shall be able to prevent it. Would Mr. Alston be willing to go as secretary to Chancellor Livingston? I beg his immediate answer. Adieu, ma chere amie. Washington, March 11, 1830. By the time the enclosed shall reach Mr. Alston, it will have travelled about three thousand miles. It will certainly deserve a kind reception.
"Long live George Washington, President of the United States!" exclaimed Livingston, and the excited throng took up the cry, shouting with wild enthusiasm. Thus was inaugurated our first President. Returning to the Senate Chamber, Washington there delivered a short address. He was very much agitated, for he had a deep sense of the responsibility which had been put upon him.
I therefore nominate Robert R. Livingston to be minister plenipotentiary and James Monroe to be minister extraordinary and plenipotentiary, with full powers to both jointly, or to either on the death of the other, to enter into a treaty or convention with the First Consul of France for the purpose of enlarging and more effectually securing our rights and interests in the river Mississippi and in the Territories eastward thereof.
"And the Chancellor Crichton the tutor Livingston what of them?" urged Sholto, like a Scot thinking of his native traitors. The Lady Sybilla waved a contemptuous hand. "These are but lesser rascals they had been nothing without their master and mine. You of the Douglas house must settle with them." "And why have you returned to this country of Galloway?" said Sholto. "And why are you thus alone?"
Hodge plunged through for seven with the whole "Grey" team sprawling over him. A forward pass, beautifully engineered by Tom, garnered eight more. Martin skirted left end for a pretty run of fifteen yards, but was tackled so heavily by Livingston that he dropped the ball, and Felton pounced upon it.
"That is Governor Livingston," she cried. "Does thee not remember I told thee how the enemy tried to capture him when I was at Middlebrook? I knew him quite well there. He and father are friends." "Friend Nurse would wish thee to see him if she knew that, Peggy. Does thee not think thee should go down?" "I'll wait a little," said Peggy.
Livingston. "There are not many like you; but we shall speak of your achievements later. Now I will draw the flap, and I do not wish to see it opened until sundown. I know that I may depend upon you to obey orders." Harriet nodded. "There is something I should like to ask. Did you see anything of a sail boat in the bay this morning?" "No. Why?" "I saw one come in last night before the blow.
You'd learn all about me from some one else, anyhow, so you might as well learn about me from me and get an impartial and unbiased statement. Clever of me, ain't it, to beat 'em to it?" Larry found himself smiling back into the ingratiating, irresponsible, boyish face. "I suppose so." "I'll shoot you the whole works at once. Name, Richard Livingston Sherwood.
