"Yes, monsieur, for I am a copyist, at your service."
"Well," said D'Harmental, "this dear Abbe Brigaud, who is my guardian (that you may know who you are speaking to), has found an excellent customer for you."
"Ah! truly; pray take a seat, monsieur."
"Thank you."
"And who is the customer?"
"The Prince de Listhnay, Rue du Bac, 110."
"A prince, monsieur, a prince!"
"Yes; a Spaniard, who is in correspondence with the 'Madrid Mercury,' and sends all the news from Paris."
"Oh! that is a great honor."
"It will give you some trouble, however, for all the dispatches are in Spanish."
