pp. 99-100. It appears from Littre that TrifoncUr is a * Proprietaire du fond et du trefonds,' or owner of the soil and subsoil ; triftnds or trhfinds being a technical law-term. i64 MRS. CALDERWOOD'S I forgot to tell you, that before we came into Liege, we stopped to dine at a single house upon the road ; and, whilst we were at dinner, a French post-chaise arrived, and out came a fattish fair man of middle age. ^ I am sure,' says I, ^ that is a Briton, I know by his face/ He only stopped to ch...ange horses, and did not come in, and, as I had never seen a French post- chaise, I went out to look at it, as the machinery is very curious. I looked at the chaise, and the man at me, and I at him, but as he did not speak, I began to think I was mistaken. After I was gone in again, he says to John — *Is not that your lady, and come from England?' ^Yes,' says John, *and I dare say she thinks you are not of her country, because you did not speak to her.' Upon inquiring further, he found I was going to Spaw to see Sir James my brother ; upon which he sent in his compliments, that he was a particular friend of Sir James's, and would come and pay me a visit : we said he would be very welcome, so in he came.
