We'll, well, must apply to some ono else.
You need not suppose, because you are the god
son of his Emnence, that you are to lead eve
rything before you in this way. Well see
what can be done without you.
And the man of large promises walked off
without waiting for Julian's answer.
He had scarcely recovered from his astonish
ment, when he was introduced into the Cardi
nails cabinet. Mazarin perceived his distress,
and inquired the cause The young man re-
lated what had happened to him.
"Bravo! bravol' exclaimed the minister, rub
bing his hands; 'since they want you to pat

two days afterwards, he received a bag contain

handwriting of Commander, whose, nephew
had just obtained his appointment.
He had just finished counting the money
when the Sieur Dupois camc in quite out of

have refused them, assuring Dubois that he

g low and went out.
Julian did not forgot to retail this scere to
" the Cardinal, who rubbed his hands, and told
him to keep tho sums he had received. They
