He struck boldly into the conversation, as one who had a right to have a voice in the deliberation.
This "pavillon" was a charming place, originally built by the Prince de Conti for a mistress, and in it every convenience and luxury had been placed. "That will suit me," said his wife. "The Dutchman who lives there has put it in good order, and now that he is obliged to return to India, he would probably let us have it for thirty thousand francs." "We shall be close to Champagne," said Moreau.
