I con- gratulate you. It is an answer to those who say you are in debt. We bigwigs, like France or England, are allowed to have a public debt; but men of no fortune, beginners, you see, may not assume that privilege ^^ "Indeed, Monsieur le Due, I still owe five hundred thou- sand francs on my land." ''Well, well, you must marry a wife who can bring you the money; but you will have some difficulty in finding a match with such a fortune in our Faubourg, where daughters do not get large dowries." ...'Their name is enough," said Lucien. "We are only three wisk players — Maufrigneuse, d'Espard, and I — ^will you make the fourth ?" said the Duke, pointing to the card-table. Clotilde came to the table to watch her father's game. "She expects me to believe that she means it for me," said the Duke, patting his daughter's hands, and looking round at Lucien, who remained quite grave. Lucien, Monsieur d'Espard's partner, lost twenty louis. "My dear mother," said Clotilde to the Duchess, "he was so judicious as to lose." At eleven o'clock, after a few aflfectionate words with Mademoiselle de Grandlieu, Lucien went home and to bed, thinking of the complete triumph he was to enjoy a month hence ; for he had not a doubt of being accepted as Clotilde's lover, and married before Lent in 1830.
