Home. Lubini" re ciapped the door
on me. and l was driven off. with hi,
speech ringing In my ears. q speech
which i believe was meant AZ much
for the gallery as for me.
This was my first encounter with
the Comte de Coigny. and / believe 1
had the worst OF II. But I was not
thinking OF De Coigny-I was thinking
OF little Eloise. OF the Countess whose
beauty haunted me. and OF the Count,
that noble-looking gentleman. now In
prison.
Eloise had told me that their houss
n Paris was situated In the Faubourr
81 German. and. as we turned out OF
the Hue de Lille, an inspiration came
to me. ] pulled the check string, the
carriage stopped. and ! put my head
out OF the window.

was not defeated yet. There was q

on the left side. and the next mo-

driving on. with the door swinging
open.

sunshine: a herd OF she asses were
trotting along. followed by an Au-
vergnat In sabots. and a cabrlolet
plying for hire was approaching on
the opposite side Of the way.
I hailed the driver and told him TO
take mo to the Faubourg st. GERMAN.
