CHAPTER II.
"HONOR THY FATHER." I said that my master was adoard by every person in my Lady Griffin's establishmint.

I should have said by every person excep one,--a young French gnlmn, that is, who, before our appearants, had been mighty partiklar with my lady, ockupying by her side exackly the same pasition which the Honrable Mr.Deuceace now held.

It was bewtiffle and headifying to see how coolly that young nobleman kicked the poar Shevalliay de L'Orge out of his shoes, and how gracefully he himself stept into 'em.

Munseer de L'Orge was a smart young French jentleman, of about my master's age and good looks, but not possest of half my master's impidince.

Not that that quallaty is uncommon in France; but few, very few, had it to such a degree as my exlent employer, Mr.
Deuceace.
