You know, he is quite a different sort from the Public Prosecutor and our other provincial skinflints fellows who shiver in their shoes before they will spend a single kopeck.

I like you immensely.
As soon as Young perceived that the prosecutor had recovered his senses a little, he demanded his money, to which Mr. Stinton replied, Is this the manner in which you treat your friend? You see, I have not strength to give you anything. Whereupon Young took from him his pocket-book and money. And Mr.

This sealed paper will be deposited by you in the office of the public prosecutor at Nancy, under certain circumstances which my note explains. Finally, this is my will. I have no very near relative; I have made you my heir. "Listen to me! I do not know a more honest man than you, that is the reason why I select you. First, this legacy is a trust.

"You have the future before you," said the public prosecutor, with an inquisitorial glance at the dejected villain. The man only expressed by a shrug the utmost indifference to his fate. "Lucien made a will by which he leaves you three hundred thousand francs." "Poor, poor chap! poor boy!" cried Jacques Collin. "Always too honest!
