Excerpt from The Pastor's Fire-Side, Vol. 3 of 4: A Novel

With all this in his thoughts, Louis al lowed prudence to put his wishes to si lence; and he left it to accident, to in form him of the health or indisposition of them he had preserved.

His o 'icial duty of this morning passed with a deputation from the merchants of Ostend. He had received his father's commands to that purpose, to holda con ference with them respecting the sanction which the Spanish Monarch had granted to their Indian trade, to the great um brage of the mercantile interests of Great Britain and Holland. The Emperor had insisted on this guarantee of Spain and the Queen, with her usual impatience, ordered it to be accorded without reserve.
