In a chance mood of talkativeness, Sarrasin had mentioned the fact that he spoke modern Greek. A good-natured friend invited him to a dinner party with M. Gennadius, the Greek Minister in London, and presented him as one who was understood to be acquainted with modern Greek.
Sarrasin, who looked up at once with a beaming smile. 'Mrs. Sarrasin, Dolores said in a low, quiet voice, 'should you think it odd if a man who knows Spanish were to pretend that he did not understand a word of it? 'That would depend a good deal on who the man was, my dear, and where he was, and what he was doing.
Thus it was that Sarrasin reasoned out the case from the first moment of his returning senses, and to this theory he held.
But the brother wouldn't take it, and it was with difficulty that Gilbert induced him to accept so much as would allow him a small certainty of income. 'So. A good fellow, too, your Oisin Stewart Sarrasin, it would seem; at least in that particular. 'Yes; of course. The brothers don't meet very often, for Captain Sarrasin 'Where does he take his title from?

While Gosson was making a tremendous speech in favor of conscience and fatherland at the Hotel de Ville, practical John Sarrasin, purse in hand, had challenged the rebel general, Ambrose to private combat. In half an hour, that warrior was routed, and fled from the field at the head of his scarecrows, for there was no resisting the power before which the Montignys and the La Mottes had succumbed.
Sarrasin decidedly. 'If a man comes here professing not to speak Spanish, and yet does speak Spanish, it is as clear as light that he has some motive for concealing the fact that he is a Spaniard or a South American. Of course he is not a Spaniard Spain does not come into this business. He is a South American, and he is either a spy 'Yes either a spy . Dolores waited anxiously.
'It wouldn't with him, Dolores answered emphatically. 'With whom? Captain Sarrasin asked blankly, and Dolores saw that she had all unwittingly put herself in an awkward position. 'I meant, she tried to explain, 'that I don't think his Excellency would be governed much by a young woman's money. 'But, my dear girl, where are we now? Did I ever say he would be?
