Malicorne then left Blois as we have said and went to find his friend Manicamp then in temporary retreat in the city of Orleans. It was just at the moment when that young nobleman was employed in selling the last decent clothing he had left. He had a fortnight before extorted from the Comte de Guiche a hundred pistoles all he had to assist in equipping him properly to go and meet Madame on her arrival at Le Havre. He had drawn from Malicorne three days before fifty pistoles the price of the _brevet_ obtained for Montalais. He had then no expectation of anything else having exhausted all his resources with the exception of selling a handsome suit of cloth and satin embroidered and laced with gold which had been the admiration of the court.

Malicorne pretended to be mistaken and gave him his hand. And the money said Manicamp. My dear friend if you wish to have it earn it. What must be done for it Earn it _parbleu _ And after what fashion Oh that is .
