But to my own, it is the original stain, which only a restitution, nobly accepted by you, ever can efface!" She paused, looking at him supplicatingly, her hands clasped.

"Are you, then, with honest and upright heart, a friend of ours?" asked Marie Antoinette, almost supplicatingly. "Do you wish to assist us, and stand by us, with your counsel and help?" Mirabeau met her inquisitive and anxious look with a cordial smile, a noble and trustworthy expression of face.
