pitall��,and,whi����the career of jeanne vaubernier, comtesse du barry, was a most extraordinary one. her father was a workman, and she, after being a milliner��s apprentice for some years, lived under the name of mlle. lange, in a house of bad fame, where she became the mistress of count jean du barry, who in 1769 presented her to louis xv., who was deeply fascinated by her wonderful beauty, and over whom, after having gone through the form of marriage with the brother of jean du barry, she reigned supreme during the remainder of his life. but her day of power and splendour was only a short one, for the king died five years afterwards (1774), when she was, of course, immediately obliged to leave the court and live in retirement; probably much sooner than she expected, for louis xv. was only sixty-three when he fell a victim to small-pox. the twelve years had been spent in her chateau, where the duc de brissac took the place of his royal predecessor.��chapteri����hefireand����tprivatethea��tandcon����

[79]the do�ϻ��������ô��ģ�ط�����ctor explained that the tariff for a boat to take one person from ship to shore and back again, including an hour's waiting, was ten cents, with five cents added for every hour beyond one. in the present instance the chinese passengers bargained to be taken on shore in the morning and back again at night for five cents each, and not more than four of them were to go in one boat. fred thought it would require a long time for any of the boatmen to become millionnaires at this rate.��but, my darling,�� he said, ��i�ֶ�������ô�и߶���χ��ů������ϵ��ʽt is not our fault. it happened like that. god gave us hearts, did he not, and are we just to disobey what our hearts tell us? we belong to each other. what else can we do? are we to eat our hearts out, you on one side of the table in that hell upstairs, i on the other? don��t tell me that is the way out!often in after years did they look back to the happy, sheltered childh
