At his return to town, the boy produced his purse, crying "Papa! here's all the money safe, I have never touched it once" The Prince, in reply, took him gravely to the window, and opening it, very quietly poured all the louis d'ors into the street; saying, "Now, if you have neither virtue enough to give away your money, nor spirit enough to spend it, always do this for the future, do you hear; that the poor may at least have a chance for it."
"'A green silk purse, added Meeta, 'with gold spangles and tassels, and gold rings, and it is full of louis d'ors; give it to me, Margot. "'No, no, no! cried the little girl; 'no, it is for grandmother; I shall take it to her. "'It is a valuable purse, said Jacques; 'somebody has lost it; now grandmother will be rich! Let me see it, Margot; let me see what is in it.

So the emperor, instead of discovering himself, took a seat under the trees and waited quietly until the people had assembled.

I should have called them sentimental idiots, but Betty saw much clearer than I did. She accompanied me back to the corridor and to the Committee Room door. I was a quarter of an hour late. "I've kept the precious Rayon d'Ors for myself," she said. "How could you have the heart to cut them?" "I would have cut out my heart itself, for the matter of that," said I, "if it would have done any good."
Bills on Boulogne, Bourdeaux, and Havre, are always to be had of the American brokers, either in London or in New York. One advantage in this exchange is, that bills may be had of any date, in which case you may suit the occasions, and put the discount into your own pocket.

"Two louis d'ors for two cups of chocolate!" said she to herself, "that is a brave trade for me. You shall have them," added she aloud. "I will fetch them in a moment." And off she pattered with her slipshod shoes into the house. The countess then addressed her son, who, leaning back in a corner of the carriage, sat with his head buried in his hands.
Since accident has betrayed it to me, I have a right to use my knowledge in your behalf, and I undertake to appease your mother. Here is a purse with two thousand louis d'ors; it is enough for a few days of incognito. Throw your military cloak about you, and away!" Young Kaunitz laid the cloak upon the shoulders of the archduke, whose eyes beamed forth the gratitude that filled his heart.
