"I tell you," said one (who spoke warmly), "that if you have a particle of common-sense left in you, you will accompany me to England. This Mejnour is an impostor more dangerous--because more in earnest--than Zicci. After all, what do his promises amount to? You allow that nothing can be more equivocal.
