servant, as thorough a devotee Of
Henri V as himself, directing her to
put the money into o basket and to
carry It to the count as soon as he him
self should be dead and buried. The
old servant promised her master TO do
as he enjoined, and accordingly on the
morrow after the %funerel Of the latter.
she set out on her journey, carrying
the money with her in a little basket,
and, having reached Frohsdorf in
safety, was admitted 10 the prince
