After the second interview the King felt persuaded thatone circumstance had been related to him by the farrier, which he aloneknew, and which had happened more than twenty years before. It was thathe had seen a phantom in the forest of Saint Germains. Of this phantomhe had never breathed a syllable to anybody. The King on several other occasions spoke favourably of the farrier;moreover, he paid all the expenses the man had been put to, gave him agratuity, sent him back free, and wrote to the In...tendant of the provinceto take particular care of him, and never to let him want for anythingall his life.
