You know, when she came here with her sister with the little 'rouleaux' of francs her hair fell down and then the evening, the month of Mary! Then I was permitted to see her freely, familiarly, and you, yourself, spoke to me constantly of her. You praised her sweetness, her goodness. How often have you told me that there was no one in the world better than she is!"
No doubt, though he might have been glad to place a niece on the throne, it would have been fatal to the peace he so much desired for Henry to break his pledges to so near a kinswoman of the King of France. And when the bag was opened, and the rouleaux of gold and silver crowns displayed, his liberality contradicted the current stories of his avarice.
They called themselves in their pride the Contrebanque de Noirbourg: they had their croupiers and punters, even as Lenoir had his: they had their rouleaux of Napoleons, stamped with their Contrebanquish seal: and they began to play.
If he would know what is the liberality of judgment of any of the straiter sects, he has only to hand over that box of rouleaux to the trustees of one of its educational institutions for the endowment of two or three professorships.
Having replaced the flat stone where we first found it, we put the box on the wheelbarrow, and took turns in wheeling it to the bank, where we soon broke it open and discovered, as we had expected, that it was full of gold coin in rouleaux.
"Not at all, monsieur." "Well! what will you do, then? You will not take my rouleaux from me, will you?" "You must return them to my chest." "I! Oh! Monsieur Colbert, don't reckon upon that."

"The courtiers questioned him, thinking that it was nothing more than a mere incident of the hunting-field. "He held two rouleaux of gold in his hand. "'Can you understand this, messieurs? he said, in a hard dry voice; 'Aurilly is dead; Aurilly has been eaten by the wolves. "Every one immediately exclaimed.
It seems that his horse ran away with him, and that he fell into a pit, where he was killed; the next day a couple of travelers who were passing close to the pit discovered his body half eaten by the wolves; and a proof that the affair actually did happen, as I have related it, and that robbers have nothing whatever to do with the whole matter is, that here are two rouleaux of gold which he had about him, and which have been faithfully restored.
"It is not your luck that is threatened," replied the fortune-teller, solemnly; "on the contrary, I see wonderful luck; packets of bank-notes and rouleaux of gold! It is not your luck it is something far, far more important that is in peril. Something which means far more to you even than your luck!" The Polish woman smiled rather sadly. "I wonder what that can be?" she exclaimed.
