It is no particular loss to me, for the Duke only pays me what every one else does. Only imagine! When I did go, the governess took out her purse and said to me, "Pray excuse my only paying you at present for twelve lessons, for I have not enough money." This is a noble proceeding! She then gave me three louis-d'or, adding, "I hope you are satisfied; if not, I beg you will say so."
'The young lady, said Fergus,'should such an event happen, will have other matters to think of than these wretched louis-d'or. 'True undeniable there's nae doubt o' that; but your honour kens that a full sorrow 'Is endurable by most folk more easily than a hungry one?
They were foreign old French and English coins. Here's one of them that I kept." He took from his pocket a gold coin and handed it to Gabriel. Lane rose to his feet with an exclamation: "Why, this is like the louis-d'or that grandfather saved through the war and gave to father." Uncle Sylvester took the coin back, placed it in his left eye, like a monocle, and winked gravely at the company.

With twelve numbers, of twenty plates each, followed by about ten pages of text, I can tell all that I have to say. The cost of one hundred and fifty copies printed here would, according to careful inquiry, be covered by seventy subscriptions if the price were put at one louis-d'or the number. Now comes the question whether I should print more than one hundred and fifty copies.
I had then nine horses and five servants, with the highest and most favourable hopes of futurity; but now I came a fugitive, seeking protection, and having lost all a youth like me had to lose. I had but a single louis-d'or in my purse, and Schell forty kreutzers, or some three shillings; with this small sum, in a strange country, we had to cure his sprain, and provide for all our wants.
"The civil act was illegal, and it is known that you gave a priest twenty- five louis-d'or to persuade him to marry you." "Doubtless Your Majesty, when he invited me here, did not do so for the purpose of paining me; if that is his intention, I withdraw," "I have conquered Europe, and certainly I should not flinch before you.
This zeal in their behalf the House of Stuart repaid with a considerable share of their confidence, an occasional supply of louis-d'or, abundance of fair words, and a parchment, with a huge waxen seal appended, purporting to be an earl's patent, granted by no less a person than James the Third King of England, and Eighth King of Scotland, to his right feal, trusty, and well-beloved Fergus Mac-Ivor of Glennaquoich, in the county of Perth, and kingdom of Scotland.
If you teach, the custom is three louis-d'or for twelve lessons; and then you get your sonatas, trios, and quartets published by subscription. Cannabich and Toeschi send a great part of their music to Paris." Wendling is a man who understands travelling. Write me your opinion of this scheme, I beg; it seems to me both wise and profitable.
"I have fought from Trois Pistoles to Michilimackinac for the toss of a louis-d'or." "As you say. Well, what think you " He paused, rose, walked up and down the room, caught his moustache between his teeth once or twice, and seemed buried in thought.
