Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of John Marston Hall, Vol. 3 of 3
Before we quitted Dumont, however, Mon sieur de Villardin, who never left any service I did him unrequited, proposed to give me in exchange, for the very uncertain pension which the government had bestowed upon me, a farm which lay contiguous to Juvigny, and which certainly rendered my baronial lands of a very respectable extent. I pointed out to the Duke that the present rents of the farm were far more than the amount of the pension, and that it was likely to yield still more; but' he insisted upon the arrangement; and i clearly saw that he wished to recompense the assistance I had afforded him at the hotel de Ville, without ren dering his gift burdensome, by bestowing it in the shape of a reward.
