Let me, therefore, greet you kindly and give you my hand." And while saying so and smiling kindly at the general, he raised his great blue eyes to the face of his mother an instant with a supplicatory expression. Lafayette took the extended hand of the prince, and a flush of deep emotion passed over his face that was just before kindling with anger.
