"I don't care," she said defiantly. "It is the law's fault for not prohibiting such marriages as ours. Oh, I know I must seem awfully foolish and idiotic to you, but but it's too late now to back out, isn't it ?" I did not mean to say it, but I did and I said it with some conviction: "It is! You must be protected." "Thank you, thank you!" she cried, clasping and unclasping her little hands.
In the meantime, Mr. Lablache, let me tell you, my experience leads me to trust largely to the story of that man. Gautier has sold me a good deal of excellent information in the past, and I am convinced that what I have now heard is not the least of his efforts in the law's behalf. Rascal scoundrel as he is, he would not dare to set me on a false scent "
As a child I was brought up to worship the Mouillard practice, with the fixed idea that this profession alone could suit me; heir apparent to a lawyer's stool born to it, brought up to it, without any idea, at any rate for a long time, that I could possibly free myself from the traditions of the law's sacred jargon. I have quite got over that now.
"It's wasted labor talking to Master Wilfrey." The tone was one of vexation. "Did ye tell him what I heard about Justice Hide and his carryings on at Newcastle?" "Ey, and I told 'im he'd never bring it off with Hide on the bench." "And what did the chiel say to it?" "'Tut, he said, says he, 'Millet is wi' 'im on the circuit, and he'll see the law's safe on treason."
He was in your way and you're glad to be rid of him. Well, we have no business fighting with each other." "Will you tell me ?" "I'll tell you nothing, for I know nothing." "Come! I must know." José laughed insolently. Law's face became black with sudden fury. His teeth bared themselves. He took a step forward, crying: "By God! You WILL tell me!"
This astonishing man, be it again remembered, besides being an exquisite poet, a profound political speculator, a philosophic student of literature through all its chambers and recesses, was also a circumnavigator on the most pathless waters of scholasticism and metaphysics. Coleridge, Law's English version of Jacob a set of huge quartos.
Two years later Law's institution was adopted by the state and became the Royal Bank of France. The further undertakings of this extraordinary "new light of finance," the blowing and bursting of the great "bubble," are recorded by Thiers, the French statesman and historian, himself eminent as his country's chief financier during her wonderful recovery after the Franco-German War.
His offer was accepted, and his bank became a royal one, its bills going at once into circulation. Now, as the most absurd delusions existed as to the wealth of Louisiana, and the most boundless faith was placed in Law's financiering; and as only Law's bills could purchase shares in the Company which was to make everybody's fortune, gold and silver flowed to his bank.
The Prince de Conti, enraged because Law would not send him some shares on his own terms, sent three wagon-loads of bills to Law's bank, demanding specie. Law paid it, and complained to the Regent, who made him put two-thirds of it back again.
The roads are also indicated, and at once the law exists; and security, guarantied by the authority of the United States, immediately follows, both for person and property; and all the machinery known to the Common Law, and needed for the maintenance of this security, and the enforcement of the law's decrees, is at once adopted.
