Frederic lie la Tour had, indeed,
some reason to suppose that his for
tunes were the work ofa fairy's wand;
for, in the course of one or two
months, by seemingly ineXplicable
stroke of fortune, he had been raised
to happiness and wealth beyond his
desires. A triendess orphan, twen-
ty-fve years old, he had beer the
holder Of clerkship, which brought
him a scanty livelihood, when one
day, as he passed along the Rue
St. Honorc, rich cquippage stopped

NJ. de la Tour, and he congratulated
himself upon the happy accident
which had gained him such an ac.
