Second Result of the Robbery THE history of my proceedings in Paris can be dismissed in a very few words.

It is only necessary to dwell in detail on one among the many particulars which connect themselves in my memory with the rescue of good Papa.
The affair, this time, assumed the gravest possible aspect.

The venerable victim had gone the length of renewing his youth, in respect of his teeth, his hair, his complexion, and his figure (this last involving the purchase of a pair of stays).

I declare I hardly knew him again, he was so outrageously and unnaturally young.

The utmost stretch of my influence was exerted over him in vain.
