"I have the two rouleaux of gold that you gave me when you left the camp." "Well, by any and every method, bring me the lady to Chateau-Thierry; perhaps when I see her nearer I shall recognize her." "And the man also?" "Yes; if he is not troublesome." "But if he is?" "Do with him what you would do with a stone which is in your way throw it away." "Good, monseigneur."
Should Joseph hear that any person has been too severely treated by Fortune, or suspects that he has not much cash remaining, some rouleaux of napoleons d'or are placed on the table of his dressing-room, which he may use or leave untouched, as he judges proper. The hours of Joseph Bonaparte are neither so late as yours in England, nor so early as they were formerly in France.
Monsieur drew his guest away from the table and took him into the private office where rouleaux of gold were stacked in great piles about the walls. One of the queer superstitions of gamblers was vividly impressed on Boyton at this place. Leaving Monsieur Blanc's office he sauntered about through the rooms, deeply interested in the exciting scenes before him.
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.
"Yes, because he won't answer them," said the mother, smiling. The farmer at once set about filling the money-belt; he broke open two large paper rouleaux, and it was manifest that he enjoyed counting out the big coins from one hand into the other. He made twenty piles of ten dollars each, and counted them over two or three times to be sure that he had made no mistake.
Swollen with this expanding love, he packed up his money in what were, though he knew it not, rouleaux, but to his plebeian eyes looked more like golden sausages: and he would take it to the bank, and they should bow to him, and Sir him, and give him forthwith more than he had brought; and if those summary gains were middling great say twice as much, to be moderate he thought he might afford himself a chaise coming back, and return to Hurstley Common like a nabob.
"However, as no one had been seen to bring these two rouleaux of gold back," continued the ensign, "it is supposed that they had been handed to the prince by the two travelers who, having met and recognized his highness on the banks of the river, had announced the intelligence of Aurilly's death." "It is very strange," murmured Henri.
They inherited after each other as they died off, and seven or eight were already dead. I returned to Madame de Pompadour, to whom I had written every day by Guimard. The next day, the King sent for me into the room; he did not say a word as to the business I had been employed upon; but he gave me a large gold snuff-box, containing two rouleaux of twenty-five louis each.
Coronado rose, walked to his horse, took two small packages out of his saddle-bags and slipped them slily into his boots, and then carried the bags to where the chiefs sat in council. There he held them up and rolled out five rouleaux, each containing a hundred Mexican dollars.
We can see them, those silent rascals, sitting there with their cards and their rouleaux and their wooden money-bowls, long after the dawn had crept up St. James's and pressed its haggard face against the window of the little club. Yes, we can raise their ghosts and, more, we can see many where a devotion to hazard fully as meek as theirs. In England there has been a wonderful revival of cards.
