At half-past five o'clock, the moment when Leon de Lora was making his evening toilet to the great wonderment of Gazonal, who counted the thousand and one superfluities of his cousin, and admired the solemnity of the valet as he performed his functions, the "pedicure of monsieur" was announced, and Publicola Masson, a little man fifty years of age, made his appearance, laid a small box of instruments on the floor, and sat down on a small chair opposite to Leon, after bowing to Gazonal and Bixiou.

"Yes," said Lora, "but you have not answered my question; how am I to seek? that is, what means am I to use to get rid of my sins, and get a new heart? how make myself pleasing in the sight of God? what must I do to be saved?"

I drink to your very good health," and bowing to Leon de Lora, he lifted his glass of port wine and drank it with much dignity. "Are you then truly in love?" asked Malaga of her neighbor, thus interpreting his toast. The Brazilian refilled his glass, bowed to Carabine, and drank again.

And when 'Lora asked him why he had never cared to enter into the lists of argument and controversy with other learned philosophers and doctors of his time, and to make himself a name that should have been reverenced among men, he answered mildly, that he had no ambition, or if he had once had any, he had always felt the mysteries of existence too profoundly to make them stepping-stones to worldly honor.

"Heed!" she whispered. She turned to the men in green, who were laughing softly among themselves. "Take these two, and go!" she commanded. "The justice of Lora," said the red dwarf.

She was in her element. She stood with one hand resting on the table as if she were about to make an after-dinner speech as indeed she was. Lora Delane Porter was not dissatisfied with the turn events had taken. On the whole, perhaps, it might be said that she was pleased.

Herr Ritter!" cried 'Tista, bursting open the door of the little chamber, in a state of great delight; "look what Cristofero has just given me! These beautiful roses! Will you have them?" "Not I, 'Tista, thank you. Gay colors and sweet odours are not for me. Put them here in this cup by your mother's side. Now, Frau 'Lora, I will not be contradicted!"

It is not easy in this world to take any definite step without annoying somebody, and Kirk, in embarking on his wooing of Ruth Bannister, failed signally to do so. Lora Delane Porter beamed graciously upon him, like a pleased Providence, but the rest of his circle of acquaintances were ill at ease.

"Is the Count still living?" asked the Ambassador, "for since the revolution of July he has disappeared from the political stage." "Do you remember, Monsieur de Lora," said the Consul-General, "having seen me going to the steamboat with " "A white-haired man! an old man?" said the painter. "An old man of forty-five, going in search of health and amusement in Southern Italy.

These were first and foremost Bixiou, still flourishing in 1843, the salt of every intellectual dish, always supplied with fresh wit a phenomenon as rare in Paris as virtue is; Leon de Lora, the greatest living painter of landscape and the sea who has this great advantage over all his rivals, that he has never fallen below his first successes.
