The Governor and his suite have come.
Call Tardif, and have wine and cake brought at once.

When the Governor enters, let Tardif stand at the door, and you beside my chair.

Have the men-at-arms get into livery, and make a guard of honour for the Governor when he leaves.

Their new rifles too--and let old Fashode wear his medal! See that Lucre is not filthy--ha! ha! very good.

I must let the Governor hear that.
