de sa probité en s
«Vous vous êtes trompé, lui dit-il: vous m'avez donné un louis d'or au lieu d'un sou.» Molière, étonné, lui dit de le garder, et lui en donna un autre pour le récompenser de sa probité, en s'écriant: «Où l'honnêteté va-t-elle se nicher?» Quelle erreur Molière a-t-il faite un jour?--Le mendiant s'en est-il douté?--A-t-il agi selon les principes acceptés de la généralité des hommes?--Molière a-t-il été touché de ce trait de probité?--Quelle récompense a-t-il accordée à ce phénix des honnêtes hommes?--Les hommes sont-ils d'ordinaire si honnêtes?

degree she possessed either she
[21] It might here be naturally expected that we should describe the charms of Miss Girzy’s person, and the graces of her mind; but, in whatever degree she possessed either, she had been allowed to reach the discreet years of a Dumbarton youth in unsolicited maidenhood; indeed, with the aid of all the prospective interest of the inheritance around her, she did not make quite so tender an impression on the heart of her resolved lover as he himself could have wished.
