Sunday is such a good day for travelling, and it's always so dull everywhere, we might just as well spend it on the train.

Besides, no one travels on Sunday in France, so we are sure to be able to take our ease in our train.

Won't Sunday do, Frank ?" "Of course it will," I replied laughing; but a day or two later he was again embarrassed, and again told me it was money, and then he confessed to me that he was afraid at first I should not have paid all his debts, if I had known how much they were, and so he thought by telling me of them little by little, he would make sure at least of something.

This pitiful, pitiable confession depressed me on his account.

It showed practice in such petty tricks and all too little pride.
