TWO:Most people at that time, like those before the flood, had no idea of the possibility of the coming destruction.No lad ever started in life with more brilliant prospects than the Marquis. At fifteen he already possessed the large estate of Genlis, free from debt or mortgage, that of Sillery was settled upon him, and he was already a colonel, owing to the influence of M. de Puisieux, his guardian, and a great favourite of Louis XV.

TWO:��Nor I either,�� said the police officer, laughing; ��but why then did you say you were the devil, and what are you and your companions doing?��

TWO:She had long renounced and repented of her proceedings of former days, and was now extremely royalist, but the daughter of Marie Antoinette was not likely to receive one who had been, if not implicated, at any rate hand-and-glove with the enemies of her mother.

TWO:On the other hand, any one who had been faithful and loyal to her parents, now met with their reward.

TWO:And yet there was one: ��a young, pale, sickly-looking Italian,�� who lived in a third-rate inn, wore a shabby uniform, and frequented the parties of Barras and the rest. He was not a conspicuous figure nor a particularly honoured guest; his military career had been apparently ruined by the spite of his enemies; he seemed to have no money, no connections, and no prospects.

If they did not, they had only the honour of the title of Countess and the decorations of the order. If they did, they got one of the dwellings and a good pension, but they could not marry, and must spend two out of every three years there; with the other year they could do as they liked. They might also adopt as a niece a young chanoinesse on condition she always stayed with them and took the vows when she was the proper age. Her adopted aunt might leave her all her jewels, furniture, &c., as well as her little house and pension. One of them wished to adopt F��licit��, but her mother would not consent. They stayed there six weeks and then went home, F��licit�� in despair at leaving the nuns, [354] who petted and loaded her with bonbons, but much consoled by being called ��Madame.��
