"'enter,' said de lacey, 'and i will try in what manner i can to relieve your wants; but, unfortunately, my children are from home, and as i am blind, i am afraid i shall find it difficult to procure food for you.'

"'do not trouble yourself, my kind host; i have food; it is warmth and rest only that i need.'

"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.'

"'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.'
