I

sat

down

,

and

a

silence

ensued

.

I

knew

that

every

minute

was

precious

to

me

,

yet

I

remained

irresolute

in

what

manner

to

commence

the

interview

,

when

the

old

man

addressed

me

.

'

By

your

language

,

stranger

,

I

suppose

you

are

my

countryman

;

are

you

French

?

'

"

'

No

;

but

I

was

educated

by

a

French

family

and

understand

that

language

only

.

I

am

now

going

to

claim

the

protection

of

some

friends

,

whom

I

sincerely

love

,

and

of

whose

favour

I

have

some

hopes

.

'

"

'

Are

they

Germans

?

No

,

they

are

French

.

But

let

us

change

the

subject

.

I

am

an

unfortunate

and

deserted

creature

,

I

look

around

and

I

have

no

relation

or

friend

upon

earth

.

These

amiable

people

to

whom

I

go

have

never

seen

me

and

know

little

of

me

.

I

am

full

of

fears

,

for

if

I

fail

there

,

I

am

an

outcast

in

the

world

forever

.

'

"

'

Do

not

despair

.

To

be

friendless

is

indeed

to

be

unfortunate

,

but

the

hearts

of

men

,

when

unprejudiced

by

any

obvious

self-interest

,

are

full

of

brotherly

love

and

charity

.

Rely

,

therefore

,

on

your

hopes

;

and

if

these

friends

are

good

and

amiable

,

do

not

despair

.

'

"

'

They

are

kind

--

they

are

the

most

excellent

creatures

in

the

world

;

but

,

unfortunately

,

they

are

prejudiced

against

me

.

I

have

good

dispositions

;

my

life

has

been

hitherto

harmless

and

in

some

degree

beneficial

;

but

a

fatal

prejudice

clouds

their

eyes

,

and

where

they

ought

to

see

a

feeling

and

kind

friend

,

they

behold

only

a

detestable

monster

.

'

"

'

That

is

indeed

unfortunate

;

but

if

you

are

really

blameless

,

can

not

you

undeceive

them

?

I

am

about

to

undertake

that

task

;

and

it

is

on

that

account

that

I

feel

so

many

overwhelming

terrors

.

I

tenderly

love

these

friends

;

I

have

,

unknown

to

them

,

been

for

many

months

in

the

habits

of

daily

kindness

towards

them

;

but

they

believe

that

I

wish

to

injure

them

,

and

it

is

that

prejudice

which

I

wish

to

overcome

.

'

"

'

Where

do

these

friends

reside

?

'

"

'

Near

this

spot

.
